As outdoor enthusiasts we value objective, real-world recommendations on gear when looking to make a purchase. There are plenty of sites out there devoted to advertising outdoor gear, but all too often it isn’t clear if the site was paid to advertise an item or if it has been recommended by a genuine user.

A new website has launched which I think will help to prevent that conundrum. The Gear features interviews with outdoor personalities of all kinds, focusing on the equipment they use on their adventures.

I think the format of this site is great because readers can see for themselves what other people have chosen to use in the hills. Interviewees aren’t pressured or paid to promote particular brands.

I have been interviewed by The Gear and you can read my interview here. The website deserves to be a success so if you like what you see please share!
