About Casper
I quit a desk job to guide backcountry trips, and never went back.
Ten years and 6,000 backcountry miles later, I still test every piece of gear I recommend in the field, not a lab and not for a sponsor. If I recommend it, I’ve carried it for at least a hundred miles myself.
I guide trips, review gear honestly, and help people plan routes that match their actual skill level, not their Instagram ambitions.
