GEAR THAT ACTUALLY WORKS ON THE TRAIL.
No-BS hiking and backpacking gear advice from a physio who likes comfort,
durability, and not suffering for spreadsheet points.
I'M JACK - PHYSIO, HIKER,
AND RECOVERING GEAR OVERTHINKER.
I make practical hiking and backpacking videos for people who want to move better, stay comfortable, avoid injuries, and stop wasting money on gear that looks great on a spreadsheet but sucks in bad weather.
