For those of you jumping to the description or to the comments to come at me about how you don't need to buy anything to get out exploring, you're right and I say that in the first 20 seconds of the video, :D.

However, after you've been on 3-5 trips, you'll likely get a pretty good handle on how your setup performs and then you'll be ready to think about where to invest your budget to improve your trips.

In this episode I'm going to walk you through my top 3 gear categories to focus your spend on as you start out.
