## Resource

Is flying across the country for adventure worth the climate impact—or should you stay closer to home? This week, Gear Abby tackles a big question about balancing outdoor travel dreams with environmental responsibility. Then things get spicy: what outdoor gear or trends instantly give you the ick on a hiking date? Shawnté and Colin weigh in with their personal red flags and invite listeners to send in theirs. Finally, thinking about becoming a ski patroller? A special guest joins the show to break down what it really takes to get started, what skills you’ll need, and whether the job is worth the commitment. Got a question for Gear Abby? Send it to deargearabbymail.com . Thanks for listening! Gear Abby is a production of Rock Fight , LLC.
