This source offers practical advice on how to walk uphill and downhill more efficiently to conserve energy and reduce strain. The key techniques involve planting your heels directly under your shoulders when ascending to primarily engage your powerful thigh and glute muscles, and keeping your knees slightly bent while descending to use your thighs as shock absorbers and protect your knee joints. By adopting these methods, you can avoid unnecessary fatigue and make your hill walks more comfortable.

Wet out. The outer layer needs to bead water, but when the beading agent wears off, you get no beading and "Wet Out."

When wet out happens, your fabric can't beath (no beading means no free space for condensation to evaporate and escape). So water accumulates inside the garment.

so you need to reapply that outer beading agent every so often.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go” ~ Jamie Anderson
