Adventure 13, Part 1: Into the Backcountry with First-Timers

Invited some folks to join me on a multi-day & night excursion through the mountains who have never done any serious outings into the wilderness backcountry before. In this first installment (first day) you'll see me introduce them to the idea of drinking water without a filter, as well as showing examples of when this is not a good idea. Listening to the woods when it's trying to tell you about rain. Firestarting, and other things.

Most of the gear you will see everybody using here is on loan from me, with a few exceptions. Some specifics on what you'll see here:
