This week Shawnté welcomes the Kilian Jornet to Gear Abby (yes, seriously). They cover mountain running, mindset, and how to lighten up both your pack and your attitude. This weeks questions cover: • Kilian’s Beta: How to safely merge trail running and climbing, build mountain confidence, and stay humble in the peaks. • Bidet Bonanza: Gear Abby's definitive backcountry butt-care guide • Tick Talk: We talk about repellents for humans and dogs that might actually work and ponder if ticks get it on. • What’s In My Pack: Why Polartec Alpha might be the best weird-looking fabric you’ll ever wear.
