Is Our Gear Really Poising Us Too?

Posted on by Backcountry Fever

This is a surprising find from the other day.  While I am well aware of the many ways foods have been poisoning us for a long time*, I was shocked and disappointed to learn that our gear is guilty of this too.


Thanks to people like this who ask questions, test theories and share their findings.

Is it any wonder why people are so sick these days?  Stats like those shown below should be concerning!

*Here are a few other links on this topic if you too, initially found this hard to believe.

Remember Erin Brockovich in 2000?  Ya oughta watch Dark Waters that came out 19 years later…

Didn`t really need snowshoes today but wanted to try out the new replacement bindings (thanks @tubbssnowshoes). I`m glad I did tho since there were enough drifts up high that would have made post-holing a be-ach.

It might be mid-December, but Fall is still fighting to hang on. We need a few big winter storms to finally tip this scale.
