My wife hasn't trusted me on hiking gear ever since I took her on Angels Landing

Exactly. If everyone has drank it all, what will you use to cool down someone

You did angels landing AND a movie on the first date!?

Heath Squashwell

The hike makes sense if you knew each other...but after a long hike you went to

Yeah, your wife is getting a little too protective. As a former leader, I want kids to be prepared, but
