178-Luxury items and hiking

Show notes

Whenever we go hiking we make decisions about the equipment we carry. These gear choices can be broken into two broad categories; those pieces of gear that we need from a safety perspective (i.e. the necessities) and those that aren’t really necessary but we want to carry (i.e. luxury items).  In this episode we discuss the key luxury items that I see on the trail but having said that this category is endless.
