My son just got a job as a trail guide in Estes Park Co. anybody have any equipment suggestions for him? Stuff that most people forget about but is something that has become essential for you. Thanks in advance.

Gear is always such a personal choice, and he probably knows more about what he needs than I do, but as somebody with bad ankles, an ASO brace is a necessity. He may want to bring one along just in case one of the guests sprains or twists an ankle. At least for me that can be the difference between taking 3 hours to get to the trail head and taking 6 hours.

Thanks I have several ankle braces and I hadn’t thought about them being a necessity.
