I brought a lot of electronics along with me on my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2022. How did they all do? Did they survive the almost 2200 miles of hiking and scrambling?
Note: I forgot to discuss the media mod for the GoPro. Within the first 2 weeks the device stopped recording audio without me knowing it so I had 3 days with almost no audio during the walk and talks. I'd advise if you do bring a media mod with you check your footage every night to make sure it's still working.
