Summary

Hiking late spring in the high country of Colorado can be a challenging mix of fast running stream crossings, post holing through snow, freezing temperatures at night, and t-shirt weather during the day. This makes gear selection a challenge. Aron, Frank, David, and Kevin Estella talk about their recent adventure (or misadventure into the backcountry) and what gear they brought, as well as what they would have changed based on the conditions. Kevin Estella is a well versed outdoor survivalist/author and instructor at Fieldcraft Survival.If you are interested in training for preparedness, self defense, survival, or firearms be sure to check out:Fieldcraft Survival101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods KifaruBecome a Patron!
