Welcome to Outdoors Gear

I am  excited to get this site off the ground.  It as been a long time coming and I believe we all have great insights and stories to share regarding both the outdoors and the gear we use.

The reason I started this site is that I have been an avid outdoors lover for my entire life and have used all kinds of gear over the years.  It has gotten to a point that I forget some of the stuff I use and just use it without thinking about why at all.  This site is a vehicle to allow me to keep track why I use certain gear and why I do not use other gear.  It also allows me to create a community of people who want to share the gear they use and the reasons why.  By doing this, we all benefit, and I have a way of controlling my sometimers memory.  lol

Please contact me anytime to either ask questions or if you wish to contribute anything to the site.  I love hearing other peoples thoughts about different gear they use and why.

Cheers,

Tom

About the author: Hiking World

My name is Tom Thayer and I love hiking and have built this site to record my many hikes and adventures. I am currently a trail captain for the Bruce Trail Conservatory and I am very glad I can give back some of what the Bruce has given me. I also sit on the board for the Dufferin Bruce Trail Club and was recently awarded the Volunteer of the Year award by the Bruce Trail Conservancy for my work on the developing their new Hike Schedule.

I have many hobbies other than hiking, such as music, drones, skiing, robotics, computers, all kinds of sports, etc….

I really hope you enjoy this site and feel free to drop me a line if you have anything you wish to add or discuss about the site, or just plain say hello.
