Gear:

Altra Running I exclusively wear Altra shoes for running, thruhiking, etc.
Mountain Laurel Designs Great ultralight cottage company that I respect.

My "resources" for gear used to be longer, but I'd rather not endorse companies for no reason. I feel comfortable "endorsing" these two companies because 1) Altra shoes are good for your fucking feet, and I like it when people do things that are good for them, and 2) MLD is a true cottage company that does a lot of things right... like not using goose down for ANY of their products. They exclusively use synthetic materials. Thanks Ron.
