Happy Friday! Are you headed out for adventure? I often get asked exactly what weekend adventure supply I bring on a quick trip. Here you go! I tend to be the guy that wants to get out quickly and doesn’t have too many requirements so keep that in mind when reading the list. Another thing that is extremely useful to me is a journal. Each time I go out, I make a note of what I wish I had, and what I didn’t need. That way, my kit is improved with every trip!
I hope you are headed out this weekend!
