Hey everyone! I’m Kristin and am the proud owner of Nantahala Gear Xchange, your go-to outdoor gear consignment store nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Smoky Mountains. NGX is the ultimate destination for top-quality outdoor gear.

With a passion for all things outdoors and a deep rooted love for the Nantahala Gorge, I have crafted this space for outdoor enthusiasts like myself who have a love for trail running, kayaking, paddle boarding, backpacking, hiking, and everything in between.

Having lived across the globe, I have been lucky enough to embark on some of the worlds ultimate outdoor adventures. These include through hiking the scenic John Muir Way in Scotland, kayaking the picturesque Savagre river in Costa Rica, competing in a raft race down the mighty Futaleufú in Chile, backpacking the wild Kalalau trail on Kauai, and paddle boarding on the iconic Colorado river in the heart of the Grand Canyon. But despite all the places I’ve been, the Nantahala Gorge holds a special place in my heart and is where I always return to. The Nantahala is not just a river; it’s my home, my sanctuary, and a source of endless inspiration. It’s the driving force behind the opening of NGX.
