One of the perks of my job is it takes me to some enviable locations to explore trails, National Parks and try new activities – several times a month I’m boarding a plane or a train to some mountain locale so that I can write about it.
Sometimes I make a hotel my base and I can bring a larger duffel bag like my Fjällräven High Coast Duffel 36 that stays in my room while I'm outdoors, but often I’m camping or hiking between huts and carrying all my luggage on my back. Whatever I’m doing, I never want to have to check a bag if I can avoid it so I’ve been working on refining my packing skills to ensure I have everything without being overloaded.
