Operation: Aqua Terra


The PDW Field Team traveled deep into the California wilderness to test prototype gear in a variety of demanding conditions.


Equipped with dry bags, amphibious apparel, and multi-day packs the team navigated a river gorge to a metamorphic rock perch which would be home base for the next 48 hours.


can·yon·eer·ing noun \ˌkan-yə-ˈnir-iŋ\ : the sport of exploring canyons (as by climbing, rappelling, or rafting)“

Traversing over fallen trees and plunging into chilled water the team pushed on through and up the river canyon.

Everyone‘s equipment was put to the test in the changing terrain.


Frequently stress-testing gear helps PDW create more useful products that have been field tested in variable to extreme conditions.


Sensitive gear, including seven cameras, drone, comm kit, and survival essentials were packed in water-tight bags.


Bryan Black, founder of ITS, is one of a select few attending the excursion.

Bryan had the honor of starting our campfire with out matches or a lighter, using only primitive fire-making skills.

There are many valuable takeaways from field excursions, but brotherhood and camaraderie always rank the highest.
