We use great gear from great companies on our adventures.
Abel is celebrating over 25 years of making the highest quality and best looking reels in the sport. I've paired my favorite Abel's with my favorite rods - stunning combinations this year.
The Baker family has been building high quality custom fishing boat trailers for over 20 years. Their trailers are so highly regarded that at least 75% of the boat owners I know use their products. Call them at 541-998-4589.
Kerry makes some of the best rods in the business and it's what I use personally for Steelhead and Trout. The 7 wt Switch Rod is my favorite.

Manly handmade soaps, organic colognes, and hand curated cigar gift boxes. The Squatch has you covered and smellin like the great outdoors. Scents are indigenous to the USA and and so is the soap.
Premium sports sunglasses that pop-out from a very small size. This is a perfect example of great innovation. For the outdoorsman and sports enthusiast - they are essential.
Kokatat is the number one river safety brand out there in the white water. Most of the crew I run with use their Personal Flotation Devices (PFD's) - whether we are on Class 1 Rapids or Class IV. I used their Guide Jacket (PFD) on the Colorado River and it literally saved my life… twice.
Inside us all exists an adventurous soul - a wild heart that is called from nature to live authentic lives. For many outdoor enthusiasts pure freedom and rugged adventure has become a way of life. Mountain Khakis were developed for this lifestyle.
