Emam Hasan

Emam Hasan is the founder and editor of BrokeMountain. He edits and publishes the site’s hiking and camping gear guides and reviews.

He is also a digital marketer and teacher, and his aim for BrokeMountain is practical, honest outdoor advice.

BrokeMountain started with a simple idea: outdoor advice should be practical, honest and easy to follow. Good gear and great trips don’t have to cost a fortune. You just need the right information before you go.

What We Cover

  • Hiking & backpacking: boots, clothing, packing lists and trail skills.
  • Camping gear: tents, sleeping systems, stoves, chairs and camp comfort.
  • Mountain biking: tyres, brakes, pedals, lights and maintenance.
  • Destinations: hikes and trips from Australia to Peru to Europe.

How We Research and Recommend Gear

We compare manufacturer specifications, long-term owner feedback and our own experience on the trail. We look for the things that matter in the real world: durability, comfort, weight and value. When we haven’t personally used a product, we say so.

We review our buying guides regularly. Every article shows the date it was last updated.
