Since 1997 I've been the "Gear Guy" for Outside's web site. Each day, I answer a question about outdoor gear - what to wear, how to pack, why you should or shouldn't buy Gore-Tex, and more. The Gear Guy has gained a reputation as one of the most reliable and irreverent sources for information about outdoor equipment anywhere on the web. And he dates back to 1997! Could it be...was the Gear Guy the world's first blog?
"My
new name for you is 'Caesar Gearus Gaius,' as you truly are the Emperor
of Gear."

and loyal Gear Guy reader
