Here is our list of businesses, schools, blogs, books, research and other resources that keep us inspired every day! Please contact us if you would like to add your business or product or you think we have missed a resource.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCES

https://kit.co/Wildlings

We regularly get asked for book, kit/gear recommendations. Some of it we stock in our shop, some of it we can’t or it’s not financially viable to do so. For those things we don’t stock, we have created a list of our favourite, most used and recommended gear here. This is also where we list all of the books our podcast guests recommend.

We would like to highlight that if you do purchase anything from this link, then we may get a small kickback from some items. We hope you understand this is just our way of paying for the time it took to set-up and continues to take to maintain and add more items as we find/recommend them. Thank you for supporting us!
