When I plan an outdoor adventure, whether it be hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking, mountain biking, or fishing, I have to have the right gear so that I can enjoy the adventure. You should too, and remember to not to overlook anything, even for a day hike, because you never know when you're going to experience that first thunder and lightning storm, a freak snow storm in the fall, or that unexpected night on the mountain. Every outdoor adventure is different, so some good hike planning and serious consideration of what gear your packing will only make things better and more comfortable for you at that moment when you actually do find yourself in a difficult situation...wherever you may find yourself.
I thought it would be fun to spruce up my gear page with a photo or video of me using the product, and that is what you see below. On top of that, I've put a link under most of the gear items where you can purchase that piece of gear. If you've enjoyed my blog or this gear page and you are considering a purchase of something I have listed, please consider using the provided link for your purchase, for which DMOutdoors is given a very small commission for the referral. Over time, I will add more photos and gear, so check back again! Enjoy the adventure, and be safe!
