T3 Outdoor Month 2023: your complete guide to getting out and about

Do you enjoy spending time outside? Roaming the countryside for hours or even days at the time? Can't get enough of hiking and camping gear reviews? We've got you covered. As the weather slowly improves for outdoor activities, we thought it was time for us to go the extra mile and provide the good readers of T3 with all the hiking, camping, action cam flinging, drone flying and more advice we can muster.

Welcome to T3's Outdoor Month, a 31-day celebration of all things the Great Outdoors. There is a lot of ground to cover, but we have the best experts on board to provide active people with tips, tricks and product recommendations to help you enjoy time spent outside the confined walls of your home more.

T3 Outdoor Month Week 1: Hiking

What we have in store for the next four (and a half) weeks is something special. Starting today, we'll provide top-notch hiking advice and gear recommendations, from hiking boots and outdoor watches to waterproof jackets and hiking GPS units. We left no stone unturned on that mountain trail to help you ease back into hiking.
