Published: May 11, 2022, 1 p.m.

b'Mark and Emory have an unscripted, informal conversation and chat through a variety of topics. They talk about Emory\'s position that quilts are the most over-rated piece of backpacking gear, and Mark talks about why he LOVES his quilt. They also debate fleece vs merino for mid-layers, down vs synthetic for insulation, and more.\\n\\nMost importantly, they discuss the "traps" of gear, the importance of figuring out what works for YOU, and the sunk-cost fallacy of continuing to use gear that doesn\'t actually work, and why getting to a place where you\'re not focused on gear is the best place to be.\\n\\nLEAVE US A MESSAGE: https://speakpipe.com/huntbackcountry\\n\\nEmory\'s Course, "Learn How to Backpack" \\u2014 https://www.learnhowtobackpack.com/\\n\\nConnect with Emory...\\n- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emory_by_land/\\n- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EmoryByLand/videos\\n- Podcast: https://wavve.link/By-Land-Podcast\\n- Website: https://byland.co/\\n\\nContact Us: podcast@exomtngear.com\\nPodcast Episode Archive: https://exomtngear.com/podcast'
