    Trail runners / Fast Packing / hiking shoes

    I've owned Altra Lone Peak mids (older version, the newer ones aren't as good), they were great but unsurprisingly didn't last more than a couple years. I tried the Inov8 G 400 but the arch was in a weird spot for me despite trying multiple sizes. Have heard good things about Topo athletic...

    Under $700 optic for a beginner to grow with

    Bacon Grease

    Your Favorite budget-ish fly rod

    I've never casted a Moonshine nor personally known anyone who owns one. I've been told (and read many times online) they're made with cheap Maxcatch blanks and are an overpriced marketing / snake oil brand. I have fished some Maxcatch rods and they're not bad at all but they're also $30 vs $200+...
