My medical & electronics bag started to develop holes so I’ve replaced it with a yellow bag. traditionally I’ve used yellow though my last one was orange (yellow wasn’t available).
I’m still divided between Hoka ATRs and Moab shoes. I need to check out the new Moab 3 low tops to check out the fit. The Hokas kind of get chewed up a little on the trail and I can’t kick a boot track (a path through snow) with them.
Moabs have been inconsistent in their fit. I’m hoping the Moab 3 has renewed quality control.
Picked up some black zip locks for carrying toilet paper in for “pack it out” sections of the trail.
Finally,
I’m checking out an alternative to the Stanco grease pot. Has a handle.

We are recovering from Covid-19 and will start more hiking. I’m also in an RSV vaccine trial. I think I got the placebo.
I’ve been sorely tempted to change sun hoodies. My wife used https://www.rei.com/product/203633/mountain-hardwear-crater-lake-hoodie-mens which weighs 3 ounces less than the Black Diamond pro I currently use.
I’d consider their fleece as well if I did not own a Timmermade. https://www.rei.com/product/194093/mountain-hardwear-airmesh-quarter-zip-top-mens
