More Than Just A Backpack…
Here at Travel & Trail, we love gear. Actually, we are obsessed with gear. Like, “Hi, my name is Darwin and I am a Gearaholic,” obsessed. When you’re living life on The Trail, the gear you use is as important to you, as a shell is to a turtle. As lift is to an airplane. As stone is to a mountain.
When carrying your life on your back, you make a special connection to the gear you use. Gear needs to fit your own technique and style, your wants and needs, and most importantly, your adventure!
Here at Travel & Trail, we haven’t tried every piece of gear, but its on our list! All the gear reviewed by our contributors has been hand tested on various trips, with no affiliation to any brands or companies.
Our mission is to provide accurate, useful information on travel related gear, so that when you find yourself on your new Trail, you have exactly what you need. Enjoy!
