grows from TWO principles.

For years I have said, "it's really just going kayaking with friends you haven't met yet."
What that means is that it's not complicated. Water, kayaks, friends, some good food, good gear and "bam!". We have a great time. Growing older and having the chance to explore not only incredible places (with my dad, whom I am undeniably grateful for and unendingly thankful to), but also being afforded the opportunity to discover gear a bit more suited to myself. Things like neoprene instead of cotton. Jetboil in lieu of tinder. Carbon fiber instead of plastic. None of those things are bad. However, frustration muddies our full immersion. 

The term "outfitting" commonly brings to mind the physical tools integral to undertake something of this nature. But how to determine which tools are best?

Understanding our experience as inseparable from the environment surrounding us is the key principle our outfitting grows from. In other words, we can't control the "environment" we have because the "everything" surrounding us is limitless. This means that every experience is unique for every individual.

So, if we can't compartmentalize everything that can happen into a perfect experience, how do we choose how to gear you up?

First, we test and review every brand and piece of gear that we come to recommend.
Second, we stand by our decision.
Third, we pass the rewards of those efforts onto you.


Whether travelling well-worn paths or spearing first descents, our spirit inspires us to search out the very best gear to , book wyrms, and . We share paddles with new friends met along the way. We sit in the silence and bear witness to. experience is adventuring into and exploring the interrelatedness between us and everything that there is. Our outfitting process grows from that truth.
