Where do you get your gear news?

I don't. If I need a specific piece of gear to fill a need then I research. Otherwise, gear has become boring ;)

have a conversation with people gear heads like to talk gear some times. the links i use are google serch. how, i carry a camera conversation goes i like that, you mind if i take a picture so i can remember yea sure take picture of the item and the brand. seeing something in person is a better way to judge if you are going to like something or not i like reading sticks blog, and section hiker blog because there enjoy able reads. and here there is alot of info

When I start to wear out a piece of clothing or gear (or need to get something), I Google.

My basic kit has not changed much in 15 years. The brands and models are different, but the basics have not changed all that much.

The biggest change in my overall kit is using a light fleece pullover and a light puffy as my insulation layers. That was ~5 yrs ago. :) Oh, and being comfortable with going stoveless on some trips.

This is the OP. I should add that I'm working on a new SUL blog and looking for some industry links for early gear news.

I setup an RSS feed in Feedly one time for commerical/magazine gear type sites. It includes lots of non-backpacking gear news, but I still check it every once in a while on the bus. I can't recall which are more outdoor oriented, but here's a dump of the names I see in the sidebar.
