Simply knowing where to go in the Upstate NY area for some fun, accessible (in my case, beginner-friendly) outdoor recreation would be super helpful. I know I can always just ask you directly, but a list / resource to come back to time and again would be awesome!!

Oh, it would also be great to have some checklists of recommended brands / good items to buy and bring with you for various activities like camping, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, etc. ❤️
