welcome to the map & gear shop

Total Escape is now featuring all brands of printed maps for California, plus the outdoor gear to get you out there, this weekend.

Not just USDA National Forests maps and Wilderness hiking maps, but Tom Harrison Topo Maps, National Geographic Maps, Wilderness Press Maps, Franko Maps, Benchmark Atlases and many more unknown maps.

Back in 1999, when few knew what ecommerce was, DanaMite began selling hiking maps online. Amazon Associates affiliate program was new to the scene, but Amazon only sold books (and no maps). After redesigning numerous map stores and mailing out maps for near two decades, with thousands of trips to the post office, we are now done with it.

These days, retail sales of map products are better left to Amazon. They have new maps, used maps, old maps, and even out-of-print maps! Now concentrating on getting the maps, images and links all organized under this new area called The Total Escape Shop. Later this year, we will be adding outdoor gear to this site.
