Спорт
Do you have the tools to get back to the car when your gear doesn't work quite as you'd like? Doug and Angus take a peak into Angus's bag of mysteries to see what a wise old backcountry sage has with him at all times. While everyone's kit is different, it's worth taking the time to think through your gear and ensure you'll be able to handle those days when things don't work out as planned.

Very entertaining episode, but I'd love a follow-up to explain how ski straps can be used to make good a broken binding or pole (I can how you might strap a binding to the ski base, but not how to stop it slipping back & forth).
