This book started as a 100-day drawing project and grew into a full collection of outdoor essentials, selected for their function, design, and reputation among people who use them hard. Inside, you'll find hand-drawn illustrations of gear across climbing, skiing, mountain biking, camping, cooking, rafting, and more—each one paired with a quick, informative description grounded in real specs and trail-tested value.

The goal wasn’t to list every product out there, but to showcase a thoughtful selection of equipment that stands out—because it works, because it's built well, or because it’s earned its place in countless packs and kits. Whether you're just getting into the outdoors or you've worn through your fair share of gear, this guide is for anyone who appreciates the tools that make adventure possible.
