The Person Behind the Gear
My name is Arsenio Corujo. I built this store to make family camping gear for beginners simple, honest, and trustworthy. I’m a dad, an IT technician with over 20 years of experience, and the person who hand-picks every product in this store.
Where I Come From
Twenty years ago I started my career repairing computers. First in New York, servicing systems inside a major financial institution and an international organization. Those were not forgiving environments. You showed up, the system was down, and you fixed it. No excuses. No trial and error.
That experience shaped how I think about everything I do: reliability matters more than price, and you never want to discover your equipment does not work when you actually need it.
Over the years I built businesses in Florida computer repair, structured cabling, and i have installed networks from Pennsylvania to the Gulf Coast. I have spent my entire career installing and maintaining systems that had to work in their environment.
Why I Built This Store
I like most dads want to take my family outside and want the campfire evenings, the hiking trails, the memories that last. But when I started looking for outdoor gear for a family trip, I found the same thing every beginner finds: too many options, too much technical language, and zero honest guidance for someone who just wants a good weekend without it becoming a disaster.
The outdoor industry speaks to experienced adventurers. It does not speak to families on their first trip.
That gap is why I built Outdoor Equipment Online.
How I Choose Products
I apply the same standard to choosing gear that was applied to every system I ever repaired: it has to work the first time, every time. Nothing goes in this store because it is cheap or because a supplier recommended it.
Every product earns its place because I would trust it for my own family. My wife and my two sons, on a real trip, with real stakes.
What This Store Is For
Outdoor Equipment Online is based in Orlando, Florida. I built it for families who want to get outside without the confusion. Beginner campers, first-time hikers, parents who want their kids to love the outdoors but do not know where to start.
Simply put, my goal is straightforward: when you buy from this store, you leave less confused than when you arrived. You get gear that works, guidance that is honest, and the confidence to actually go.
If you have a question about any product in this store, send me a message. I answer personally.
