Who's behind this site?
Hi, my name is Cecily Whiteside. I’m the Gear Girl. I’ve been camping for over 50 years now. I know, I know. I don’t look that old, but it’s true! I created this site to share all the things I’ve learned over a lifetime of fun in the outdoors. I’ll help you get a jump on camping and hiking knowledge so you can start building memories.
