Most influential gear? ... I received a recent ema Most influential gear?
...
I received a recent email inquiry from a well-known outdoor magazine that asked if I had thoughts on influential gear over the recent-ish decades. Equipment that revolutionized backpacking
..

..

...
What’s an influential item in backpacking?
..
I think such an item changes backpackers’ habits, techniques, or styles. In my opinion, none of the pitched items  accomplished these objectives.
...
I went in a direction they did not expect I'm sure! :)
