    To close the loop, divert waste from going to landfills, and prevent further virgin material extraction, buying secondhand is a necessary part of an outdoor minimalist lifestyle.

Buying used outdoor equipment not only helps the environment, but it can help close the gap and make outdoor recreation more accessible no matter your financial situation.
