Daniel Curts recommends the Brooks Cascadia Elite — I've used this shoe in every kind of terrain. Volcanoes in Patagonia, deep snow and ice through a Maine winter, glissading spring snow, rock hopping in the White Mountains and running through deep mud in Hawaii. The grippy Vibram outsole combined with the gaiter on this shoe makes it my go-to when I know I'll get into some fun terrain.
Daniel Curts recommends the Open Fuel Drink Mix 24 Serving Bulk Bag — This is just the best tasting fuel on the market. Hands down. I love bringing two soft-flasks, one with a filter and a ziploc bag full of open fuel. I weigh out my fuel before I head out so I know how much to drink. Mix as you go - just let the run shake the fuel itself.
Daniel Curts recommends the Brooks High Point 5" 2-in-1 Short 2.0 — The 360' belt on this makes it super versatile. I can fit over a liter of fluid, iPhone, GoPro, and car keys easily.
Daniel Curts recommends the Raide Research LF 2L — For days when I need to bring a little extra
Daniel Curts recommends the Brooks High Point Waterproof Jacket 2 — For those nice days when the conditions above treeline could be just about anything. You never want to get caught out unprepared.
Daniel Curts recommends the Brooks Canopy Jacket — A great layer for cutting the wind while you're on a summit. Simple.
Daniel Curts recommends the Brooks Ghost Lite Crew 2-Pack — I really like to have a higher sock that protects the ankles from all sorts of assault, be that branches, thorns, rocks or what have you.
Daniel Curts recommends the Suunto Suunto Race Titanium Charcoal — Super easy to use mapping features have saved me from being miserably lost many many times.
Daniel Curts recommends the Suunto Suunto Spark White — These have been a big upgrade from the airpods I've been using for awhile... These have been much better for hands-free phone calls while out running or just driving the van. The battery life is great and they charge super quick.
