Photo & Video Gear Guide
We test a lot of gear. Most of it is fine. Some of it genuinely changes how we travel. This is the stuff that made the cut — what's actually in our bag on every trip and why.
We stopped saying someday. Here's what happened.
Hi we’re Austin & Kait. A Michigan-based adventure couple with full-time careers, a cavapoo named Rory, and a genuine refusal to wait for the perfect moment to start living fully. We take 9–10 trips a year, from national parks to Iceland to the hidden gems of oue own home state of Michigan, building itineraries down to the hour and sharing every honest detail along the way.
This is DeNolf Wanders.
