Outdoor Gear - Out in the wilds there's only one important thing, staying alive. It's easy to get lost in technology that's great up until the moment it fails, and that's when you discover you chose the wrong gear.

By keeping it simple and low-tech, the weakest links will not be the things you need most. Good enough for renowned survival experts around the world, why not for you too?
