62. In Field Gear Repair Tips You Need to Know with Whitney "Allgood" La Ruffa

In episode 62 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we get to chat about gear repair. We have discussed gear repair in the past on the show, but for this episode we get to go a bit more in depth to learn what you should carry in a backcountry gear repair kit, how to save money on gear purchases by learning a few easy repairs, and how to prevent gear failures from happening as often.

To help explain all of these things and more, I had the pleasure of hosting Whitney La Ruffa.

Whitney "Allgood" La Ruffa has a long history of long-distance hiking. His first thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail was in 1996 and since then he has logged over 10,000 miles on long-distance trails and routes in the US and abroad. When not slogging miles out on the trail "Allgood" spends his time working at his job as VP of Sales and Marketing for Six Moon Designs, and as the Independent Director for FarOut guides. "Allgood" is also the President Emeritus of ALDHA-West (American Long Distance Hiking Association-West), a non-profit focused on educating others on long-distance hiking and the home of the Triple Crown of Hiking.
