camping gear

Many people who wind up here are looking for gear catalogs, could be camping gear, hiking gear, tactical gear, or survival gear.

Don Paul points out in his most excellent book “How to be a Survivor” that the word “survive” comes from two French roots: “sur” meaning over or on top of, and “vive” meaning “to live.”

May you live above it all!

I have a new wish list catalog: please send me two of everything from Kifaru. Their founder, Patrick Smith, in his mid 60s and living over 100 days a year in the backcountry, is one of my newest heroes.
