What’s up with this?

My close friends know I’m a gear nerd. I wanted to have a space where I can share my kit and talk about what Sumi and I are using that makes each adventure a little bit more special or enjoyable. We’re a pretty adventurous couple, and so our gear gets a decent workout in a variety of missions.
