A small Portland team with wet boots
Market Gear Web Inc. publishes practical camping gear and trip preparation guides for the Pacific Northwest.
What we do
We write educational, brand-neutral content that helps campers choose, pack and maintain gear for the conditions they will actually meet in Oregon and Washington: drizzle, fog, coastal wind, cold ground and long shoulder seasons.
Our gear guides explain features and trade-offs rather than recommending specific products. Our blog covers trip preparation, maintenance and low-impact camping habits. We do not sell gear, publish prices or take reservations for campgrounds.
What we believe
- Good gear advice starts with honest conditions, not marketing claims.
- Most comfort problems can be solved with small, affordable changes.
- Caring for gear is as important as buying it.
- Leave No Trace principles belong in every trip plan.
- Safety information should be clear, calm and practical.
How we keep it honest
No paid picks
We do not accept payment to feature products or brands in our guides.
No invented numbers
We avoid made-up statistics and prices. Where standards exist, we explain them.
Updated regularly
We review guides as practices and standards evolve and note update dates.
Safety first
We remind readers to check local rules, forecasts and conditions before every trip.
Who writes our content
Articles are produced by the Market Gear Web Editorial Team, a small group of writers and editors in Portland who camp, hike and paddle across the region throughout the year. We draw on hands-on experience, manufacturer care instructions, published testing standards and guidance from land management agencies.
Our content is educational and general in nature. It is not a substitute for professional instruction, such as wilderness first-aid training, or for the current rules set by the agencies that manage parks and forests.
