We often buy expensive outdoor gear, expecting it to be perfect, only to find ourselves making modifications to better suit our needs. In this video, I explore why we modify our tents and backpacks, demonstrating a simple, non-permanent alteration to my Atom Packs Mo50 to improve trekking pole storage. I also discuss adding essential guidelines to my Hilleberg Enan for increased stability without voiding the warranty. Join me as I ponder the balance between manufacturer design and personal customisation, and share your own gear modifications in the comments!
