It was all a dream…

Welcome to MISH INLAND Outfitters, where we celebrate the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of extraordinary experiences.

If you're someone who grew up immersed in the world of organized team sports, you experienced the thrill of competition and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. However, as you entered adulthood, you may have found that the short bursts of adrenaline provided by local recreational leagues were no longer enough to satisfy your craving for excitement.

That's where individual adventure sports come in. As I embarked on my journey to discover new challenges, I realized that preparing for an expedition-style adventure mission, or a "MISH," became a central part of my life. What began as canoeing trips with lifelong friends soon led me to obtain a grade 5 whitewater rafting license from the New Zealand Rafting Association. My passion for adventure has expanded to include a wide range of activities such as endurance paddle racing and touring, whitewater kayaking, commercial whitewater rafting, canoe tripping, half marathon running, hiking, multi-day trekking, trail running, mountain and gravel biking, nordic classic and skate skiing, all mountain downhill skiing, and backcountry mountain skiing.

As a multi-sport "Gearhead," I understand the importance of using equipment that meets high standards. Rest assured, I share your passion for quality gear, and am committed to providing you with the best products available.

Like many of us, you navigate the demands of a typical 9-to-5 workweek, cherishing the weekends and vacations that allow you to indulge in your adventurous side. For you, the true essence of living lies in the anticipation of the next MISH, the pursuit of what was once considered unattainable.

We aim to inspire and equip individuals like you with the resources and knowledge necessary to pursue their own extraordinary journeys. From expert advice on gear selection to tips on training and preparation, we have you covered.

So, what's your MISH? No matter how big or small your dream expedition is, we believe that with the right mindset, support, and gear, you can conquer it. We are excited to be part of your next adventure.
