Gear I Use on the Bike and in the Bush
๐ UPDATED: 5/5/2026
Over the years Iโve used all sorts of gear… some good, some not so good, and some that just flat-out broke when I needed it most. This page is a list of the gear I actually use right now, stuff that works for me whether Iโm riding, camping, or mucking around in the shed.
Iโm not sponsored, and I donโt push products. If itโs here, itโs because I use it and reckon itโs worth sharing.

Final Thoughts
This list isnโt about what you should buy, itโs just what I use because it works for me. Iโll update it when I change things around or find something better. If thereโs a product youโve seen me using thatโs not listed here, let me know and Iโll add it.

I’ll keep adding to this as I go.
Cheers.. Mark
Keep On Riding!
