Funnily enough, that’s exactly why I was digging in to it

Try this Brave Search Goggle I made, which searches a bunch of NZ companies and retailers (not all of it is NZ gear, and some of it is made by an NZ company overseas, like Macpac, Kathmandu ect).

Some of the companies I came across when putting it together:

• southernlitepacks.co.nz (backpacks)
• https://twinneedle.co.nz/ (hunting focused, but they repair clothing & packs too)
• glowingsky.co.nz (southland based merino stuff - I got some socks from them which are great)
• earthseasky.co.nz is great
• https://www.kaiwakaclothing.co.nz/
• swazi.co.nz (not 100% sure its made in NZ)
• cactusoutdoor.co.nz (I don’t think their clothing is made in NZ anymore, sadly)
• https://norsewear.co.nz/ (socks, gloves, beanies)
• https://fiordlandpacks.com/ (ultralight packs)

(the full list of NZ sites in the goggle is here)

Sorry, most of it is more outdoor focused than everyday

Also, if you tap with two fingers you jump

To see how far down you can get.

Disclaimer: I work at Brave, but I think it’s pretty good

+1 for Cradle, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to

I’ve been reading The Blighted Stars, which I’m quite enjoying. Nothing too serious but a fun read.

Children of Time deals with it, but only very indirectly. It is a really good read though!

The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan is pretty great, or the Black Prism by Brent Weeks.

Anything by Brandon Sanderson is great (The Stormlight Archives or Mistborn is probably the best starting point).

I came across https://lemmy.ml/c/cosmere for books set in The Cosmere
