Additional gear

In this category, we describe gear that you really need but that doesn't fit in other categories. There is not certain order, so you have to browse it yourself. Have fun!

As always, the gear shown may not be available at your local store. However, there are alternatives and other vendors. Always. 

We don't receive any money or advantages for showing the gear. We bought it with our own money, and we talk about it because we know it serves its purpose well.
If you know of other alternatives that may work better, we would love to hear about them.
Just drop us a line, and a picture would be great.
