G.O.T. Outpost: Pre-Season Gear Maintenance | Boots, Sleep Systems, Knives & Tents

Gear that's been sitting in a compression sack or storage bin since last fall needs a check before it fails on you in the field. Jay and Drew walk through boot conditioning and sole inspection, sleeping bag loft recovery, sleeping pad leak detection, water filter cleaning and offseason storage, kill kit sharpening and audit, and full tent inspection including stove parts. If you've ever pulled gear out at camp and found something broken, missing, or destroyed by mildew, this is the video you need to watch. Forgetting gear sucks. RuckList fixes that.
