    I am often guilty of bringing too much food on hikes and coming home with 30% of what I started with! On a recent hike I realised that I was going to have too much again, and I came across another hiker who chatted for a while and then asked if I had any spare food, so I dumped some weight onto him, and he seemed to be grateful! A win win for both of us..............

      You have to travel a few times to know how your body works.
      Some people might only have 1 or 2 meals, and others may eat as they go and seem to still be eating when sitting.

    I was confused why Mowser would release a vid on a Saturday, but then I realized it only feels like a Saturday for us in Victoria.
    Wise stuff as usual in the vid.

    Thanks Mowser! Great points around investing in a good sleep system. And the clothing - it's so hard not to pack the odd extra layer!

      Make it multipurpose and then it has more value on the trip, it is the item that only has one function that some bring multiple of that can be the issue.

    Great tips, thank you. Can you suggest an app for planning a hike, I.e. route, transportation, lineage, etc.? Also, what brands of wet weather gear do you use? I’ve found that light wet weather gear wets out and defeats the purpose of keeping you dry. Heavier wet weather gear keeps me dry, but I sweat from the weight and well it is a lot heavier.
