Every hunter needs to have trustworthy gear by his side for every hunt. Maybe you're a minimalist who relies are very little gear. Maybe you've so much gear you don't know what to do with it. No matter the case, your gear needs to last as long as you do on the mountain.

This episode is the first of a two part recording I did along with my new co-host, Ashton Edwards. We talk mostly about the absolute essentials in this episode. We also talk about some of our "comfort essentials" and even some of the non-essentials that mix people up sometimes. As always, there's a few stories mixed in there as well.
