In this video, I review some of the most popular backpacking gear for older hikers recommended by this channel’s viewers. These items include the camp chair, bidet, pee bottle, flextail air pump, cork ball, and midweight boots. The intent of this video is to make backpacking just a little more accessible for older hikers, and the gear talked about today will help you with your long-distance backpacking trip whether it is on the Pacific Crest Trail, The Continental Divide Trail or the Appalachian Trail.
Please feel free to add constructive comments. I freely admit I don’t know all the answers and have blind spots. Feel free to enlighten me. We may disagree, but I’m not afraid of robust conversations.
