COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

What should most hikers solve first: footwear, pack, or water?

Start with the biggest constraint on the trip you actually take. For many shoppers that means footwear and water first, then a pack sized to carry that system comfortably.

When do trekking poles and other accessories matter most?

After the main trail-carry system is already working. Accessories matter more once route length, footing, water planning, and carry comfort are already handled.
