Camping & Outdoor
Overview
Camping, hiking, biking, sailing, fishing; we love it all. There’s nothing better than getting out in the fresh air and exploring the best that Mother Nature provides.
So we pulled together this page to highlight some of the gear you might need to explore the great outdoors safely and comfortably.
Section 1 – Provides a selection of resources, including links to outdoor gear companies that we’ve used over the years.
Section 2 – Links to our other posts and pages relevant to camping and outdoor gear.
Of course, resources such as websites, apps, and booking platforms, constantly evolve.
We try to keep up, but please tell us if you know of products, services, and tools you think are superior to those mentioned. We’re always excited to learn about and test new things.
Section 1 – Accommodation Resources
Head over to the Camping Gear for Bicycle Touring page to see our current setup.
I need to source the links for our current set up, but it’s not too different from when we started and that information is underneath in Section 2.
We’re usually cycling, not hiking, these days. But there are a couple of excellent apps we recommend for navigation:
Alltrails (has a free 7-day trial) is the iPhone App of the Year and the world’s largest and most trusted outdoor platform with over 60MM users.
Komoot is the other one. But we mainly use this to plot out cycling routes.
Ooops still pulling it all together.
