296-Gear Freak!
Show notes
Gear Freak is a term you will hear associated with many sports and activities, and while I’ve been involved in many gear intensive activities in the past, this term seems to have a special affinity with hikers.
In today’s episode we talk a tongue in cheek look at the various levels of hiking ‘gear freaks’. From personal experience there are four different levels of Gear Freak you are likely to come across. Where do you sit?
