What’s on your adventure wish list?
We are at your command!
Gear Genie is designed to help everyone have more fun and perform better on their next adventure.
Experienced sportspeople need gear lists to hone their equipment, improve their kits from year to year, and ensure that crucial items do not get left behind in a packing flurry.
Beginners need gear lists to have fun playing a new sport, instead of giving up in misery over a gear-related SNAFU.
Note from the Founder
Dear Friendsies,
One of my favorite memories is getting ready for my family’s annual ski trip out west. We would put on Warren Miller ski movies, pull out the (handwritten) gear list… and the packing would commence.
Once I became a weekend warrior, gear lists moved onto Google Sheets and were emailed to friends in advance of the adventure along with the carpool plan and suggested Après activity. The gear list became a sacred item, symbolic of fun and camaraderie. Is it even an adventure if it doesn’t have a gear list? I think not!
Gear Genie was born when enough friends and colleagues asked for gear suggestions that I finally decided to make them more widely available. The Magic Gear Lists are designed to be downloaded and checked off before each adventure. I hope you will find them helpful and fun! And of course, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Margaret
