## Resource

This week on Gear Abby , Shawnté tackles three very different outdoor dilemmas: What should you actually do if a wildfire breaks out while you’re deep in the backcountry ? Should you worry if your spouse takes off their wedding ring whenever they hike, climb or backpack ? And which women-owned outdoor brands are doing great work around sustainability, accessibility and giving back? Plus: marmot slander, sausage fingers, silicone wedding bands and a whole lot of sweating. Advice that doesn’t suck. Send your questions and spooky stories to deargearabby@gmail.com! Gear Abby is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.
