What’s Your Gear Story?
Got a favorite piece of gear that has gone the distance and lived to tell about it?
Some call it mistreatment. You call it love. You've used it, abused it and taken it for granted. It's been a pillow, a blanket and an umbrella. Muddied on the trail. Snagged on a branch. Shoved into backpacks, overhead bins, and stuff sacks. Gear Aid™ makes the products that undo whatever you've done to your gear. You know us for Seam Grip® but everything we make helps prolong your gear's life. So it will perform no matter what you're dishing out

Award-winning author Pete Takeda grew up in Boise, Idaho, dropped out of college in the mid-80’s, then moved to Yosemite Valley where he bussed tables for six years and climbed his brains out.
Pete now writes and climbs in and around Boulder, Colorado. He has led expeditions to the Himalayas, climbed in Alaska, cragged in Australia, alpine climbed in India and Pakistan, bouldered in Nepal, whacked ice in Iceland, mixed it up in Scotland, pimped stone in Mexico and Europe, and scared himself silly on alpine, ice and mixed routes in the Canadian Rockies.
Pete is a Senior Contributing Editor to Rock and Ice magazine and contributor to outdoor journals like Outside, Climbing, Alpinist, and Backpacker.
