I've always loved the outdoors because of it's simplicity.


So not having boots that leak, or waterproof jackets that actually are waterproof and not freezing your arse off diminishes the outdoor experience? I would argue the opposite is true. If you're looking for that truly granola experience go out in loin cloth in December and enjoy the simplicity. While you're at it, throw that high dollar Off and Amber Romance away so you can enjoy all Gods creatures to the fullest extent.

I wasn't really talking about clothing. I know the importance of good, quality clothing. Although there are certainly some gimmick brands out there.

I was mostly talking about gear and gadgets.

I don't feel like reading this thread, but does having a GPS on my boat make me a pussy?

Yep, the cheapest stuff is usually a waste of time, the most expensive is almost always a waste of money. Gotta find the sweet spot for your budget. Online reviews really help in filtering through the marketing bullshite. The most heavily advertised products are rarely the best.

Are you the guy that buys the $100 barefoot shoes where the makers recently settled a lawsuit for false advertisement of improving foot health, or is this someone else?
