The companies displayed on this page all represent products and services that have appeared in Wilderness over the past year or so.
They represent a fraction of the companies that have been involved with Wilderness over the past 28 years (some have been with the magazine for that time).
They help make Wilderness possible and what they advertise helps make your enjoyment of the outdoors better.
Their products and services are world-class, they have offices, manufacturing, research and training premises and street-front shops in your town. They employ people who live here and who know and love New Zealand’s outdoors.
Together, they can supply all you’ll ever need to get outside – gear, skills, adventure, transport.
It has never been more important than now to get in behind these companies and buy their products and services locally – not from a far distant website. Please support the companies that support Wilderness.
The team at Wilderness do and will continue to do so.
Thanks to all these companies and the many others who have helped make your enjoyment of the outdoors, and Wilderness, possible for the last 28 years.
