Summary

Today on the First 40 Miles, we have three stories we want to share with you today—of women on the trail—plus our takeaways from their experiences. Then on the SUMMIT Gear Review, an inflatable hammock that may not make it on your 40 miler, but might find a way onto your weekend two mile out and back packing list. Next, we’ll share the real recipe for a healthy, simple trail snack that almost everyone makes incorrectly. And we’ll leave you with a little trail wisdom from a guy who has strong opinions about one piece of backpacking gear.
