About TrekFinds

It Started With a Fishing Trip

TrekFinds was born from a real-world problem.

As a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, I've always enjoyed fishing, camping, hiking, road trips, and exploring the outdoors. A few years ago, I joined some friends on an ocean fishing trip expecting my existing gear to perform just fine. It didn't.

The conditions were tougher, the fish were bigger, and it became obvious that my equipment wasn't designed for serious offshore fishing. When I got home, I decided it was time to upgrade.

What I thought would be a simple shopping process quickly became frustrating.

Gear recommendations were scattered across hundreds of websites, YouTube channels, blogs, forums, and social media groups. One expert recommended one product, another recommended something completely different. The more research I did, the more confused I became.

Finding the best prices wasn't any easier. I found myself opening dozens of merchant websites, comparing specifications, checking reviews, hunting for discounts, and trying to determine whether a deal was actually a good deal.

At some point I asked myself a simple question:

Why isn't there a single place that combines trustworthy gear advice and the best deals from outdoor retailers?

Surprisingly, I couldn't find one.

That's when the idea for TrekFinds was born.


Our Mission

TrekFinds exists to help outdoor enthusiasts and athletes make smarter purchasing decisions while saving money.

We believe people should spend less time researching gear and more time enjoying the activities they love.

Whether you're into fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, overlanding, cycling, paddling, running, fitness, or any other outdoor pursuit, our goal is to help you discover quality equipment and great deals without wasting hours searching the internet.


What TrekFinds Does

TrekFinds brings together two things every outdoor enthusiast needs:

Expert Gear Discovery

We help users discover products, compare options, learn about equipment categories, and make more informed buying decisions.

Deal Discovery

We aggregate and showcase deals from leading outdoor and sporting goods retailers, helping users find competitive prices and limited-time offers from across the market.

Instead of visiting countless websites individually, outdoor enthusiasts can discover gear opportunities from multiple merchants in one convenient destination.

Community Comes First

TrekFinds is more than a deals website.

At its core, TrekFinds is a community project.

The outdoor world has always thrived on shared knowledge. Whether it's a fisherman sharing a proven lure setup, a camper recommending reliable equipment, or a hiker sharing trail-tested gear advice, the best information often comes from people who have real experience.

Our vision is to build a place where sports and outdoor enthusiasts can:

  • Share gear recommendations
  • Discuss equipment and techniques
  • Discover new products
  • Help others make informed decisions
  • Share exceptional deals
  • Learn from one another's experiences

We believe that together, the outdoor community can become the most valuable resource for finding great gear and great deals.


Our Commitment

We are committed to:

  • Providing honest and useful information
  • Helping consumers save money
  • Supporting outdoor recreation and healthy lifestyles
  • Building a respectful and helpful community
  • Continuously improving the TrekFinds platform

Our long-term goal is to create the most trusted destination for outdoor gear discovery, deal finding, and community-driven knowledge sharing in the United States.

Meet the Founder

Hassan's love for the outdoors began long before TrekFinds was created.

Raised on the Mediterranean coast in a family that loved fishing, Hassan developed a passion for fishing, hunting, and outdoor adventure at an early age. His father introduced him to many of the outdoor traditions that would later become lifelong passions.

As a young boy, Hassan joined the Boy Scouts, where he learned camping, hiking, outdoor survival skills, leadership, and respect for nature. The values of Scouting continue to influence TrekFinds today, especially the "Leave No Trace" philosophy championed by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting.

One of his favorite Scouting quotes remains:

"On breaking up camp, leave two things behind you:

  1. Nothing.
  2. Your thanks."

Today, Hassan is based in Sacramento, California, where he continues to pursue his passion for the outdoors. He regularly fishes the American River, Sacramento River, Feather River, and the Pacific Ocean, including the waters near the Golden Gate and Santa Cruz.

With more than 40 years of outdoor experience spanning fishing, camping, hiking, scouting, and outdoor recreation, Hassan created TrekFinds to help outdoor enthusiasts make better gear decisions while finding the best deals available.


Why Trust TrekFinds?

TrekFinds wasn't created by a large corporation or private equity group.

It was created by an outdoor enthusiast for outdoor enthusiasts.

Our goal is to combine real-world outdoor experience, community knowledge, and deal discovery into one platform that helps people spend less time researching gear and more time enjoying the outdoors.

We believe the best outdoor advice often comes from fellow outdoor enthusiasts who have actually used the gear in real-world conditions.


Building a Community

Community is one of TrekFinds' core principles.

We are building a platform where outdoor enthusiasts can help one another discover gear, save money, exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another.

As TrekFinds grows, we plan to introduce community features including discussion boards, member-generated content, deal sharing, and knowledge exchange areas that help connect outdoor enthusiasts across the country.

Our vision is to create one of the most active and helpful sports and outdoor communities in America.
