The equipment we use to report on our expeditions from around the world!
So we get asked a lot about what goes into an Expedition to the other side of the world? We have put together a list of everything we bring on our trips to stay in touch and bring you these reports. Its no small game these days getting the technology it takes into the farthest and most remote corners of our planet, keeping everything powered and working correctly.
Some of the Equipment we Use
