Your specialist Outdoor and Recreation shop conveniently situated in Pietermaritzburg, the outdoor capital of KZN. We stock and supply a wide range of outdoor products, apparel and accessories such as hiking and camping equipment, technical clothing, casual and corporate work-wear, farm-wear and uniforms. Our wide range of footwear, from top-of the-range hiking boots to climbing shoes to sheepskin

slippers, has over 60 styles to choose from. There will be something to suit your needs. This business is highly service orientated and strives to provide you with the highest quality and value products at the most competitive prices. Our customers are from all walks of life ranging from professional mountaineering and climbing guides to adventure racers, hikers, farmers and everyone in between. Over the years we have helped people gear up for their trips and adventures of a lifetime. These include the first two ladies to run the Antarctic marathon and finish all seven of the extreme marathons in the Southern Hemisphere, to the likes of hardened paddlers competing in the Yukon River challenge. We also have customers who have climbed some of the highest peaks around the world. All this requires specialist kit and sound technical knowledge, which is provided by our mountaineering expert and knowledgeable staff members. So whether you’re hiking the Drakensberg traverse or going on an afternoon amble, climbing at the crags or doing ice climbs on multiple pitch frozen waterfalls, come in for the right advice and technical know-how. We advise many of the local schools for their outdoor programmes, providing them with equipment and expertise for their outdoor trips and excursions. Some of these trips have included trips to base-camp Everest and three-week trips across our Drakensberg mountain range. Bush & Bundu also deals with government departments, police units, game parks, and municipalities providing them with work-wear, uniforms and safety equipment. Should you not find what you are looking for on our floor we are able to source many other brands and products that you may require for your specific needs. We do hire out backpacks should you not have your own and want to get out into the outdoors.

Hot take: you don't need more clothes for winter. You need the right system ❄️

Most people grab the thickest jacket they own and call it a day. Then they're sweating on the climb, freezing at the top, and miserable by camp.
Here's what actually works — the layering system:

Layer 1 — The Base ()
This is the one doing the real work. A good moisture-wicking base layer pulls sweat away from your skin and keeps you dry. Wet = cold. Dry = warm. Simple. First Ascent's base layers are built for exactly this; lightweight, fast-drying, and genuinely warm without the bulk.

Layer 2 — The Mid
Your fleece or insulating layer. This is your heat trap. It holds warm air close to your body. Don't skip it because you think the jacket is enough.. it isn't.

Layer 3 — The Shell
Wind. Rain. Cold air. This is what keeps all of that out. A good windproof or waterproof shell over your base and mid means you stay comfortable no matter what KZN throws at you.

The magic is that you can add or remove layers as conditions change which in the Drakensberg or the Midlands can mean a 20°C swing between sunrise and summit. 🏔️
We stock First Ascent base layers in-store at Bush & Bundu, Pietermaritzburg and we'll help you build the right kit for your specific trip, terrain, and budget.
