“Map out your route in advance and make sure you’re well rested. Don’t forget to embrace all the moments along the way. It can get tough and the bags did feel heavy at times but wow when you unpack those boards and paddle on some alpine lake or cool river it was worth the weight and more!
The Compact was perfect for the adventure we planned out – it was lightweight, tough, durable and fit into my hiking pack with the rest of my gear.
Choosing my team carefully also definitely helped. They are two awesome amigos I love to quest with and great company. In the end this adventure did have its hardships and it was really nice to share those with others as well as sharing such a magical journey with great friends.”
