TIPBusters!

Welcome to TIPBusters. This is the tip link. Ideas to fine tune backpacking, camping, canoeing and snowshoeing gear.

With TIPBusters, G-WeBconnect offers you gear solutions to replace knuckle-head-gear-buying that really work. You'll get heads-up advice for field tested gear and guides for creating the best trip lists for those sojourns into the backcountry.

Because TIPBusters is part of a living web site, its links will be periodically updated as new field data is compiled. Your tips are also welcomed! Drop us a line. If G-WeB uses your idea, you get blamed if it fails in the field!

 

Remember, if you found it at
TIPBusters,
you've (probably) got something that works!
