Personal Gear and Clothing Consultation
One of the key elements to enjoying the outdoors comfortably is having the right gear and clothing. For those new to the outdoors and those venturing into a new outdoor sport such as backpacking or paddling, the amount of options are endless and can be very confusing. Green Earth Outdoors is here to help you have the best experience possible whenever you go outside.
To do this, we offer personal gear and clothing consultation to help you narrow down the options to the ones that are best for you. A lifetime of outdoor exploration and years of guiding and outdoor retail experience is fully available to you. Whenever you are ready, we are prepared to talk with you or meet at your home or office or other suitable location where we can carefully understand your needs, be professionally fitted when applicable, and explore various options that best meet your needs. You will have the freedom to ask questions and receive unbiased feedback. And where possible and practical, you can even give some items a try before you buy with no obligation. And if you make a purchase, and you decide to purchase from us, there is no additional mark up or fee from the regular prices. We are simply committed to helping people get outside more and want to do our part to get you there.
This unique service provides you the opportunity to explore the gear and clothing options available that best meet your needs, without any obligation or pressure to purchase something that just isn’t right for you. Getting outside and experiencing nature is always worth it, so we want to make sure you are prepared to fully enjoy the adventure!

What others are saying about our gear consulting:"Douglas is great to work with. He's been hiking and backpacking all his life so he really knows what is available and the nuances for different brands and types of equipment. He will likely save many of us a bunch of expensive mistakes. He is very personable and concerned about folks getting good equipment." Tony S. – Louisville, KY
"Anyone can find a cheap price for backpacking gear online. But, I was looking for expert advice from someone I could trust... someone that's been there. That's what Green Earth Outdoors provides– a level of expertise that can only come from actually testing and using outdoor equipment." Mark C. – Louisville, KY
"I had no idea what backpack to get my son for his trip to Philmont. My son's scout leader recommended I contact Douglas at Green Earth Outdoors. He showed us what to look for in a good back pack, and had my son to try on different backpacks for fit and comfort. My son received his backpack promptly. After my son had a chance to use it on an outing, Douglas personally contacted us to make sure we were happy with our purchase. When my son needs new camping equipment in the future, we will definitely contact Green Earth Outdoors."
