Content Creation

Haven't talked about hiking the GDT with bestie yet. Only pre-emptively making this wishlist because of a previous bad experience with another friend who resented me buying winter hiking equipment for myself, even though person expressed no desire to hike in the winter. 

List will be created based on other woman hiker's lists on the Great Divide Trail.

The list (as of now) is completely unsolicited and is based on anxiety from bad experiences with previous friendships and relationships.
