Welcome to PAST Outdoors
Hiking, Camping and Travel Gear
PAST Outdoors is a family-owned and operated Australian business, shipping across the globe. We pride ourselves on our high quality camping gear and expert advice.
We're proud members of 1% for the Planet, committing at least 1% of our annual revenue to environmental causes. Every purchase you make helps protect the wild places we love to explore.
I have been shopping with PAST Outdoors for a few years now as the PAST Points pretty much give me 15-20% off every day as I’ve racked a few up.
Every order I make I get a phone call to double check sizes and a nice note from the team.
I shop no where else now!
What an amazing family run business. Whether you are an experienced thru hiker or just entering the world of hiking this store has it all, including the friendliest and most helpful staff in any small hiking/camping business I’ve ever dealt with. Dave, his family and the staff will look after you without looking for the quick buck. They’re interested in the long term returning customer and they treat you as such. Dave brings a battle tested knowledge that not many others can. 10/10 can and do recommend. I’ll be getting everything I can from here moving forward.
Very practical tent. Easy to setup. Very roomy inside, can sleep family of 5. We love it.
Online purchase was very efficient, items were not over priced, and customer service was EXCELLENT!! Thank you!
I signed up for this class half-expecting a few basic tips about tinfoil packets and instant noodles. What I walked away with was a completely transformed approach to cooking in the outdoors. This course exceeded every expectation I had, and then some.
The team leading this course were nothing short of exceptional. Both facilitators brought deep, real-world experience — one a long-distance thru-hiker who has tackled multiple multi-week trails, the other a Personal Trainer & nutritionist with a passion for wholefoods. That combination of genuine wilderness expertise and culinary skill made for a dynamic, authoritative teaching duo. They were warm, approachable, and endlessly patient with questions, never making anyone feel silly for not knowing the difference between canister and alcohol stoves. Highly recommend!
Didn't think I'd be able to do this course here and grateful I could locally...and with free coffee.
Found these guys randomly online while looking for some OR gear, thank god I did! Ended up going in store to try on some jackets and the guy serving me was one of the nicest blokes ever!
I frequent day hikes, but am new to overnights and have honestly never had such a helpful staff member in any shop!
Would highly recommend these guys for online and in-store shopping. Will defs be doing my shops here more often!
So glad to have stumbled on Past Outdoors. Great range of only best gear and the customer service from Dave was second to none. Everything arrived in 2 days ready for the Western Arthur’s. New favourite shop!
Dave is a legend. Really knows his stuff, was very helpful and accommodating. And Kristine was also very friendly and assisted me with some of my questions. Super happy with my new camping set up just in time for long weekend. Thanks PAST Outdoors team.
Past Outdoors service was brilliant and the quality of the products were great too! Would buy from them again!
Great advice from Dave - he knows his stuff ! Quality products & fast shipping
Great service 🙌🏼
I love love love past outdoors! Kristine is an absolute legend and her service is super personalised to your needs. Kris helped me with choosing my sleeping bag which is one of my fav hiking purchases! As well as many little editions, I’m so thankful for her friendly and knowledgeable service, she will make sure you leave with exactly the right equipment! :))
These guys are great, and service and delivery was excellent, very personalised. I would shop from them again.
I was so excited to receive my order, two days from ordering. That’s super fast. What an incredible selection of awesome gear these folks have. I cannot wait to purchase more gear in another month for my alpine adventures.
The whole team is always super helpful and friendly. When I ordered a product, they called to make sure I was ordering the right size, which was of great help 👍👍
