Top Ultralight Hiking Gear for PLUS-SIZE Adventurers (Part 1)

Carrying heavy gear on the trail is hard enough—I don’t need to make it worse with clunky shoes and backpacks that fight back. In this video, I’m breaking down ultralight hiking gear that’s perfect for plus-size adventurers (and, honestly, anyone who wants to make hiking suck a little less).

Here’s what you’ll find:
-Brooks Caldera Trail Runners 🏃‍♂️: Lightweight shoes that feel like walking on marshmallows (without the stickiness).
-Nashville Pack Cutaway 30 🎒: An ultralight backpack that hugs your body in all the right ways—no more pressure points!
-Bonus Tip: Why mastering the fine art of squatting is a total game-changer for trail life.
