About GTC

Guides’ Top Choice (GTC) was founded to enhance the wilderness adventure experience by connecting adventurers with the knowledge and expertise of outdoor professionals. This expertise is harvested, synthesized, and carefully curated to help inform your gear and product choices, as well as other aspects of your upcoming adventures.

This is not reliant on AI or automated processes—we reach out directly to targeted individuals and organizations to hear from them first-hand.

We believe there is immense value in the accumulated expert opinions that guide the products we include in our online inventory. In a marketplace filled with cheaply manufactured gear, we strive to identify high-quality products that truly add value to your adventure. By using the links provided, you support our efforts—a small affiliate fee is received at no cost to you, helping us continue our outreach to Guides and Outfitters in a constant effort to improve the value of our recommendations to you.

Additionally, we strongly encourage you to consider contacting the Guides and Outfitters in our directory for your next adventure. Over the years, we’ve repeatedly experienced the immense value these professionals bring, especially when your time in the wilderness is limited. Their guidance has a way of supercharging every adventure, making your outdoor experiences more rewarding and memorable.
