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.
