No matter if you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, fitting all of the necessary gear for an outdoor adventure can be daunting. Whether you're heading off on safari or going hiking, biking, canoeing, camping, or kayaking, it's all about maximizing space and making sure you have the proper clothing and equipment.
"The saying we have in the industry is that there's no bad weather, just bad gear!" says Dan Austin, director of Austin-Lehman Adventures (www.austinlehman.com). Do your research and invest in quality items, especially when it comes to protecting yourself from the elements and possible injury.
