You don't fidgeting, you sound like you're like rolling into a new position and bed there.

I think that, yeah, just the my office chair here squeaks a little much.

All right, we're keeping that. That's part of the show. Welcome to the Monday Minute.

We are actually pre-recording this one because we're traveling this Monday, so we're getting

one out there. Let's just dive into a listener question. I know that we've touched on this

in previous episodes. I know that's a question that comes up a lot and it's come up again recently.

Steve, what extra clothes do you bring on multi-day trips into the backcountry?

Nothing. Boom.

I'll elaborate.

Yeah, there's no extra clothes. I think that's the evolution of you. I know my very first trip or

first few years probably I had I packed extra pants for crying out loud. Tons of extra socks,

extra underwear, extra shirt, extra pants. Then you just kind of find out that 99% of the time

you never used them. I just stopped packing them. But no, really, yeah, it's pants.

It is important to have good quality gear like pants that don't stink after a couple days,

pants that dry out quickly, things like that. I've been wearing those prana stretch sions for

and this is probably four or five years now. I love those things. They don't smell. They dry fast.

They're tough. They stretch. They're comfortable. Yaudi, yaudi, yaudi, they're awesome.

So yeah, I mean literally one pair of underwear that I'm wearing, my pants, a couple pairs of socks,

depending on the trip. There'd be like one extra pair or two extra pairs in my pack,

you know, just the duration. Also, if I'm expecting a lot of like rain or snow or something like that,

I'd probably throw an extra pair in there. Then I do. On socks, I'll rotate those around. I

always like to have like a dry pair to put on at night. It's like the one thing. I'll go to bed.
