Gear is a fundamental element of any outdoor experience. It can make the difference between a comfortable night in the woods and a simple day hike that you never come back from. Every piece of gear you carry should have a purpose that you know and understand. We all want toys that can do new and exciting things but it is important not to get carried away and to realize that gear is nothing without knowledge. Learning about your environment and understanding how every piece of gear in your kit can help you comfortably coexist with that environment is infinitely more valuable than any new shiny piece of gear.

On this page you will find my recommendations for gear items that I use or have used in the past. I will never promote a product that I personally would not use. If a company decides to send me something for free, they do so with the knowledge that they run the risk of receiving a poor review or that I may promote a competitor's product that I deem superior for whatever reason. My goal here is to provide useful, unbiased information and to form a trustworthy relationship with you and anyone else who visits this site. That being said, I would like to point out that many of the product links you will find on this site are affiliate links that, at no extra cost to you, identify finerbub.com to the merchant as having made the referral. If a product is purchased through an affiliate link, finerbub.com will receive a small commission (less than 10%) from the merchant for the referral that will contribute to the production of future content on this site. Again, this has no impact on the cost of the product. Shopping through these links is a mutually beneficial way for readers to support this site in exchange for the information and advice found in the travel guides and gear reviews posted on this website and its associated social media pages.
