EXPEDITION AKOR - THE COUNTDOWN
In mid-March 2021, a team of five adventurers will say “see you later” to their families and friends, get on a plane, and be dropped off on Ward Hunt Island (Canada's northernmost point of land). This place, known for being polar bear territory, is located 800 km south of the North Pole (83rd parallel), and is where the team will start their day one out of a seven months expedition.

Hillsound Highlights: Winter 2019/20
Every Monday at Hillsound Equipment, our team gets together (onsite or as it is now online) to share our personal highlights from the previous weekend. There are a lot of amazing adventures and shenanigans that our staff members get up to throughout the year. Last year we decided to take this discussion from our physical office or as it is now; our virtual office and let the whole world in on the fun. Be safe, go wild!

2019 in Review
What an incredible year to end off the decade! 2019 was an amazing year for Hillsound thanks to all of YOU! Before we head off into the new year, and a new decade at that, we wanted to look back at some of our favourite moments in 2019.
Our Favourite Backpacking Extras
We’ve gone over the 10 Essentials. Now we want to share some of our favourite backpacking extras. These are things that you don’t need to survive in the outdoors, but they will make your time outside much more enjoyable.
The Best Books About Hiking and Nature
Believe it or not, there are times when you will actually be able to relax when backpacking. You may get rained out and have to stay put for an extra day, or you may get to camp early and have the chance to enjoy a rest in your hammock. These are some of our favourite books to read in, and about, nature.
Hillsound Highlights: Summer 2019
Please join us for the first edition of Hillsound Highlights, a seasonal celebration of epic adventures from a group of people passionate about the safe exploration of the outdoors. The summer of 2019 brought about international travel, the learning of new sports, and even an engagement!
