Almost every time I go backpacking I witness someone on the trail doing something cringe-worthy. It's not their fault, they just haven't learned some of the tricks of the trade. I wanted to compile a list of common mistakes people make with their gear and how they can maximize their comfort and the full utility of their gear. Don't make these mistakes!
