Who We Are?
Our MissioN
This world is full of innovators creating gear from recreational use to professional applications that can only be found by word of mouth or if you are lucky and type the right words in your search bar.
Wicked Nomad’s mission is to provide a website for adventurers and professionals alike to find the gear they are looking for as well as discover new gear and technology all in one place.
Extraordinary Experiences
For nearly 20 years, I have worked for my dad's marine surveying & inland commercial diving company primarily working with tow boats and barges. We operate on an emergency response basis and are on call 24/7/365. Any time we are called to respond to a maritime incident, we have one hour to gather gear, connect the truck to the boat, and be en route. Sometimes we are fortunate and are able to mitigate or contain the incident in only a few hours, however, other times take days! I have been in my 28' Scully's cabin boat in the middle of nowhere on the Mississippi River for 72 hours straight in the middle of winter before.
Needless to say, I am always looking for better gear from foul weather gear and clothes in the winter and moisture wicking cool gear in the summer, backpacks, sleeping pads & bags, hammocks, camping style food and cooking utensils, flashlights & headlights, propane & diesel burning heaters, rite in the rain notebooks, GPS devices, drones, and cameras.
Anything I can find to help myself and my coworkers work for extended periods of time in fairly harsh conditions with little to no resources.
My intent in this website is not only in providing links to products but to eventually create a community of like-minded people collaborating on gear and tactics to help live our best lives, our most adventurous lives!

The power of outdoor adventure
Outdoor adventure intertwines physical activity with mental rejuvenation, offering a holistic approach to health. Engaging in activities like hiking, climbing, and cycling not only strengthens the body but also reduces stress and promotes mental clarity. Nature’s tranquility fosters mindfulness, enhancing emotional resilience and reducing anxiety and depression. Moreover, outdoor experiences cultivate a deep appreciation for the environment, fostering sustainable practices and conservation efforts. Socially, these adventures create bonds and a sense of belonging, enriching relationships and community ties. To embrace outdoor adventure, start with manageable activities, stay prepared with proper gear, and respect nature’s delicate balance. Fuel your body with nutritious snacks, stay hydrated, and immerse yourself fully in the present moment. By venturing into the great outdoors, we align mind and body, finding harmony amidst nature’s beauty and the thrill of exploration.
