Bush & Alpine Resources does not have commercial relationships with any particular equipment suppliers. We are therefore in a position to offer unbiased thoughts on some of the different gear that's available. Please bear in mind that although we see a fair bit of gear on our travels, we do not see everything. Also, simply because a particular piece of equipment is useful to us does not mean that it is appropriate for the kind of activities that you undertake.
