How to give your hike a high-tech upgrade #WearableWednesday

And while there’s certainly something to be said for really roughing it, there’s no rule that demands you give up all the creature comforts of modern living to enjoy camping. (If there were, all these ultralight hikers would be boiling water over a fire instead of using filters and stoves.) In fact, part of the allure of backpacking is all the gear.
