Your Trail-Trusted Gear Research Partner
We’re a small team of overlanding addicts who spend more time on forest roads than in boardrooms. Our mission is simple: help you choose gear that actually survives the wild without wasting cash on over-hyped “tactical” gadgets.
Data-Driven Reviews
We analyze manufacturer specs, durability forums, and 100+ real-user reviews before we recommend anything.
No Freebies; No Nonsense
Brands don’t pay us. Every link is disclosed and we only earn if you genuinely buy—and never pay extra.
Gear for the Long Haul
We obsess over the gear so you don’t have to—digging through specs, owner feedback, and field reports, as well as testing gear ourselves at every opportunity to surface the toughest kit at the fairest price.
Behind the Scout
I’m Brandon! Artist, musician, gear tinkerer, overlanding enthusiast – and the main Gear Scout here at OGS. When I’m not at one of my day jobs, you will find me with my customized Runaway Rangerunner tiny camper boondocking in the Pacific Northwest.
