Replacing my worn-out trail shoes got me thinking about how much I spent on kit when I first started guiding, and what I’d do differently now.
In this episode, I share where I’d invest, where I’d save and which items I’d hire for a first expedition. We cover:
Hiking boots versus trail shoes, and why fit matters.
What you get from a more expensive waterproof.
Building a layering system using clothing you already own.
Choosing sleeping bags and rucksacks without overspending.
When premium upgrades are worth the money.
With examples from Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp, Morocco and Peru, this is a practical guide to getting equipped without letting the shopping list put you off your adventure.
