Field Tests and Gear Reviews
Helping you decide what gear is right for you
When out on the trail, the equipment you have along is all you have to rely on until you get back to the comfort and safety of your home. It is up to you to determine the essential equipment you bring along to make your hike comfortable and safe. Failing to bring along the right gear may mean a miserable experience or worse.
As a field-tester, the reviews I have provided are based on my own experiences and represent an unbiased account of the gear I use and trust.
If you are a retailer or manufacturer and would like us to field-test your gear please drop me an email at [email protected]

G’day hikers…love hiking and have several spine herniated disks. I’ve looked on this great website for monowalker/hiking trailers, unable to find any. Is this an unpopular choice, or not permitted. Also I’d dearly love to match my freshwater flyfishing with hiking. Is there any blogs or similar that culminates the two? Cheers Darrell (Hervey Bay)
