Hi all -
Pam from the Mitten here! I've always loved being outdoors - especially hiking - but I'm trying to branch out and try more challenging trails this year that will actually require some better boots and a few supplies. I was excited to find this whole "conversations" feature on REI so I can learn what gear I should/should not invest in.
I'm also hoping to tackle kayaking this year, but it's been YEARS since I've even sat in a kayak. I just remember loving it. I'm hoping to find some truly newbie resources for that on here as well.
@PJHoltz welcome - we're so glad you joined our community! We've got lots of active outdoors-folks here, including a bunch of kayakers - the Watersports board is a great place to ask your questions and learn form others. Also, we'd love for you to share your expertise on our Michigan board!
