RE: How to pick, fit & pack your backpack Part 1/3 - Valuable advice sourced by The Broke Traveller - 1st Steemit tutorial.
I'd love to work for an outdoor equipper(?) industry. Sounds super cool. How did you like that and why did you choose to move on (and to what?), if I am allowed to ask.
Sorry for the late reply! Been away for a while... I liked the time I've spent in the industry. It was fun for the most part and I got to accumulate tons of outdoor gear at great staff discounts (sometimes 30% off trade price, so 80% retail price) directly from outdoor suppliers. Sometimes I would get gear for free during training courses and such and I could buy demo kit (stuff that has been used by magazines and testers for photo shoots and testing) at rock bottom prices. Something like 20 euros for a 500 euro tent that has been used for a few nights. I left the industry to move to Copenhagen so that I can do my masters here since it is free and I can get a significant bursary on top if I work part time. Since I don't have to pay the huge tuition fees that they have in the UK (something like £9200 a year), seems like a good deal to me...
