Things I'd Do Different If I Was A New Backpacker!

Knowing what I know now about backpacking, with the 20+ years of experience I have, and a degree in Outdoor Recreation Management, what would I do different if I was a new backpacker? This is something that I've been thinking a lot about lately, and so I wanted to talk about what I would do different if I was just getting started backpacking, but had all the knowledge and experience I've been able to have.
I talk about backpacking gear choices, not caring about what others think, getting educated and more. Enjoy!
