is you might be doing – if something isn’t the right fit or doesn’t feel comfortable, it can cause a lot of issues and distract you from the day. A backpack rubbing on your shoulders or bouncing around isn’t only annoying, but if you end up with friction cuts or something that’s going to cause you problems. Our local terrain here is pretty rugged, which makes for some fun descents, but you really notice if something isn’t quite right with your kit. No-one wants to head home early because of their gear letting them down, particularly when you are enjoying views like this. I also like to have what I need with me so I can keep going longer and focus on trying to keep up with Danny! Red’s new backpack is great for van life adventures, ideal for everything we might do on a van trip: biking, hiking, swimming, paddleboarding etc. I love that versatility and it’s a great winter pack – fully waterproof with plenty of space, and comfy back protection too. The essentials I take with me in my backpack are always layers, loads of snacks, water, first aid kit and most importantly a good crew and a sense of adventure!
