How often should you check your gear for wear or damage during a trip?

Inspect gear before departure and periodically during the trip; replace or repair as needed

Regular gear checks during a trip help keep you safe because equipment can wear or get damaged with use. Do a thorough check before leaving to ensure everything is in good condition. Then inspect periodically during the trip and replace or repair any worn or damaged items right away. This proactive approach catches problems early and prevents gear failure in the field. Waiting until the end, checking only yearly, or only if something malfunctions can lead to dangerous failures you didn’t see coming.

Only at the end of the trip
