Food & Cooking

Fun outdoor cookwear + more (gsi outdoors)🍳

  • Explore lightweight cast iron, camping stoves, mugs, chef tools, camp games and more at GSI Outdoors! We personally love the gourmet pour over java set and the stainless-steel mug.

  • 💧For your clean water needs, we suggest Water to Go Water Bottles or these water purification tablets!

Clean & real protein (Equip foods) (Code: MAinehikes)

  • Our favorite gut-friendly, bloat-free protein powder in so many flavors! They also carry a collagen and a clean, mold-free coffee that we LOVE, along with colostrum, protein bars, pre-workout and more. We have these products on repeat for before, during AND after our hikes.
