Lewis Perdue: Half A Century Trekking

Outdoorsman Lewis Perdue is a NYTimes best-selling author, entrepreneur, professor, prize-winning journalist and scientist who would always rather be pushing the limits in the middle of nowhere.

This is Lew in his own words:

"I've spent more than a half a century in the boonies:

From the swamps and woodlands of Mississippi to the Finger Lakes and Adirondacks of New York and the Appalachians and Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina. And Alaska from the Southeast to the bush and over to Canada's Yukon.

"And for the past 30+ years in the Sierras from The Sierra Madre to The Eastern Sierra and Lake Tahoe.

"I've been designing, hacking & perfecting gear for all seasons. And I still am.

"Tactical Trekker is about the news I find, the reviews of gear and how to make every trek safe, survivable and comfortable...and how to do it right, don't die. Click here to read more about Lew's other lives

We don't sell stuff.

We don't take money under the table to hype products and services.

If we have a conflict of interest (like a buddy who owns a covered product or company) then we'll tell you about that up front.

If we review something that was provided for by a company, then we'll disclose that up front too.

Review units are welcome.

Please email me (see below) before sending anything to determine if the product is appropriate for Tactical Trekker.

Consumable items like food, drinks etc. are (for terribly obvious reasons) not returnable

All non-consumable products must be accompanied by a suitable method to return the product once it is reviewed.

Products that manufacturers do not want returned will be donated to charity.

Those products that Tactical Trekker would like to keep will be paid for at fair market value or wholesale price whichever is higher.

Prototype products still under development, not yet for sale and which a manufacturer would like us to evaluate, will be handled on a case-by-case basis consistent with the provisions above.

Sending a product does not guarantee a review. Or a positive one.
