All-
Being the esteemed collection of backpacker's that you are I'm hoping you might think back to your first trip or two out on the trail. I'd love to know: What was the thing(s?) that most surprised you on your first few times out on a multi-day backpacking trip?
My wife and I are headed out in a few weeks for the first time on an actual backpacking trip. We'd love hear your stories about your first time out.
Many thanks,
John
