9: Fighting Your Monkey Brain and a Primer in Backpacking
b'
Sometimes we jump into something with such frenzy and ambition, we might not be properly prepared. We are in over our heads. It\\u2019s a theme many of us are familiar with, perhaps in our lives, perhaps from the news.
Powder Matt Mosteller sets the stage for\\xa0our conversation today by sharing a story of lofty teenage goals, finding himself in over his head and getting himself safely out of it. From this and many other experiences throughout his life, he helps us prevent our next shit show by giving us a full-on primer on everything you should consider for your first backpacking trip: conditioning for your trip, where to go, what kind of gear needs your consideration, personal health and safety and things to think about when you bring the kids and/or dogs along.
Even if you aren\\u2019t planning a trip, it\\u2019s a good lesson on life.
