“For the first time with our own dedicated space at the event, we were able to share our mission of educating and empowering those who live and love the outdoor world. The talks on Leave No Trace and Safety Equipment for Outdoor Activities were meaningful moments of exchange and reflection, reinforcing our commitment to conscious and responsible mountain practices,” says Pedro.
The Gear Tips founder also highlighted the value of personal connections at the festival. “Seeing partners and hiking friends again, and especially welcoming members of the Gear Tips Club to our tent, was special. Witnessing our community grow, engage, and remain curious fills us with pride and motivation to keep moving forward.”
