Bio:
I freaking love the mountains! I love to hike and climb em! oh, and I love my puppy... his name is Indy.
i only review gear that i own, or my twin owns, or my girlfriend owns. so this is why you might see my twin and i frequently on the same pages as we get to share gear all the time!
im an avid gear nut and LOOOOOVE to get the latest and greatest and or raddest.. hopefully my reviews and photos will help.
if you need size measurements for an item i reviewed, just lemme know and i should be able to get you the ACTUAL measurements no later than a few days as i do not get on the BC community everyday. hit me up. americanivy@gmail.com
