Gear repairs just got easier

When you hike a lot you can get very attached to your gear. Your backpack and boots become a part of your body, your tent becomes your home. If your favorite jacket gets a small tear don't let it keep you off the trail.

Recently we have become interested in at home gear repair. So when we found this book we could not leave the store without it. If possible, it's better to repair something you already have than to get something new every time it gets damaged, but sometimes you're not sure where to start. This book will act as a reference for us when fixing our own gear.

Some of the repair instructions include:

- Boot heel maintenance

- Zipper repair

- 'Duct tape ingenuity'

Outdoor gear is expensive, but with the proper care and maintenance it will last a long time.

Get creative and save money!
