Welcome to the gear stash! I’m Chaney, an avid outdoor enthusiast with a passion for testing and reviewing the gear that makes our adventures possible. With years of experience across multiple disciplines – from shredding mountain bike trails to conquering alpine peaks – I’ve developed a keen eye for what makes outdoor equipment truly exceptional.

What started as a personal quest to find the perfect gear for my own adventures has evolved into a mission to help fellow outdoor enthusiasts make informed decisions about their equipment investments. Every review on The Gear Stash comes from real-world testing in the conditions you’ll actually use the gear in.
