Q4. Do you tend to like to try out new gear or stick with your old & trusted? #hikerchat

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4. New gear is always fun, but I'm pretty loyal to my old gear, tried and true. Great, I sound like my mom! #hikerchat

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4: I'm pretty loyal, but there's always something that needs updating! #hikerchat

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4: I'm so bad, I always want to try but I'm afraid I won't like it as much as ol' trusty and rusty #hikerchat

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4. New gear = $$$ & I am a frugal guy (i.e. cheapskate) looking forward to early retirement. You can do the math! #hikerchat

A4. We go for one splurge item every. Otherwise, we really love our tried and true! #hikerchat

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4: We'll always have our go-tos, but we're total gear heads so we can't resist trying the latest and greatest. #hikerchat

A4: I'm a creature of comfort and habit, but I won't lie, the new camping shower my hubby bought me is the BEST.THING.EVER. #hikerchat

A4: @Bernardine #hikerchat We love when gear companies send out some new backpacks for reviews. @TETONsports :-) Love my old stuff also.

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine A4: We mix it up! I still have gear that I bought way long ago #hikerchat
