EP 102 How to Save Money, Expand Capabilities, and Optimize Your Next Gear Purchase

On this episode of The By Land Podcast, we’re going to dive into how you can SAVE MONEY, EXPAND CAPABILITY, and OPTIMIZE your next gear purchase. I’ve spent a lot of money on gear over the years and only recently did I realize I haven’t done a very good job of expanding my capabilities with each and every purchase.

SO, you get to learn from my mistakes so you can avoid them yourselves. In the long run, you’ll save far more money and be able to far more activities in the outdoors!
