Brave Search released a feature a which lets you customize search results. It's always a bit of a hassle searching for gear which is either made in NZ or ships to NZ, so I had a go at making one which prioritises outdoors gear which is made here (or failing that, is sold here).

You can test it here

I wanted results which would prioritise things like fiordlandpacks.nz, cactusoutdoor.co.nz and southernlitepacks.co.nz. As you can see, it was only partially successful but I feel like it's still useful.

The source for the filter is https://gist.github.com/fallaciousreasoning/c7d10b8db5449fb62b601ddf111003a3 - let me know if you think there are some NZ based sites I should include.

Aspiring.co.nz would be a good addition. Same with Earth Sea Sky if it's not on the list.

Already there! Good suggestions though
