## Resource

How exactly do tarantulas mate ? Is Walmart’s Ozark Trail camping gear actually good enough for beginners? And has Shawnté found a water filter she likes even more than the Platypus QuickDraw? This week on Gear Abby , Shawnté celebrates the show’s first anniversary by diving way too deep into tarantula mating season, explaining why inexpensive camping gear can be perfectly fine for casual car campers, and revealing her newest What’s In Your Pack? favorite: the LifeStraw Peak Solo water filter. Plus: marmot slander, Glory Hole Falls, forgotten bidets, and more discussion of pedipalps than anyone asked for. Send your questions to deargearabby@gmail.com.
