  • Deep Dive: Hiking Tech
    Jul 16 2023

    Anyone who follows us on social media knows we are keen hikers, and we love our hiking tech - so we thought we’d share with you all a few of the latest gadgets, gizmos and gear we’ve been testing out. 

    Rae went along to the Blue Mountains Climbing School to complete a course all about old-school map and compass navigation. She also picked up a pair of gaiters for bushbashing - and found the fitting process harder than expected. 

    Meanwhile, Tegan gives a long-term review of the Sea To Summit collapsable lightweight cookware, and the $35 lantern everyone falls in love with.
