Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsExcited to have completed. Incredible experience. Thankyou to bib track foundation and all volunteers form making this available. Keep it free so everyone can access.
Your Best Equipment
My blow up mattress and sleeping bag. Puffer jacket for warmth which was essential with the extremely cold and wet weather we experienced.
Your Worst Equipment
Rain jackets which let us down. Ended up using a $3.95 plastic poncho over my $400 jacket to keep a bit dry.
Advice for Others
Lightweight equipment without compromising safety. Train before starting out. Well broken in footwear. Carry a tent
