A sixteen-story apartment building in Manhattan might seem like an odd place to run a site devoted to outdoor sports gear. But when you spend your week dealing with crowded subways, incessant car alarms and neighbors who don’t know how to turn the stereo down, you learn to appreciate the great outdoors as much as anybody.
On the weekends, we love to get out of the city to go hiking, camping, kayaking, or anything else that lets us explore the outdoors. We’ve found that we enjoy our “expeditions” more when we’re equipped with the right gear. But because we both have certain obsessive-compulsive tendencies, we tend to spend countless hours searching the web for great deals and wide selections every time we want to buy a single piece of equipment. This led us to ask: "Wouldn’t it be great if there was one site that collected the web’s best outdoor gear specialists in a single place?" Well, now there is.
EXPEDITION101 is the only outdoor sports equipment shopping source you’ll ever need, whether you’re looking to try something new or gearing up for an activity you’ve enjoyed for years. If you’re an expert adventurer or you’re looking for something specific, you can go straight to our categorized “SHOP” pages to find web retailers who are stocking the gear you need. If you’re a novice and you don’t know where to begin, click on one of our 101 links, and we’ll take you step-by-step through the equipment you will need for your chosen expedition, together with some recommendations about where to buy it. Just browsing? Go to the “OUR MERCHANTS” page for an overview of everything our retail partners have to offer. And don’t forget to check out the Featured Deals on our home page, which are constantly changing.
But enough about us. This site is about helping you find the gear you need. Explore the site, visit our merchants, find your gear, and GET OUT THERE AND PLAY! Because life’s more fun when you have the right equipment.
