The Trail Is Burning, His Finger Is Naked & Women Are Making Better Gear

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.
