And since we announced our private
Initiative, you all have really stepped up in good faith with contributions to help us offset some of the revenue losses resulting from eliminating big tech ad tracking.
And I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for doing so.
And if you'd like to make a contribution to Backpack and Light to help us support big initiatives like this, you can do so at backpackandlight.com slash stewards.
Okay, that wraps up the news.
I'll put a bunch of links in the show notes for you: links to trips, the trips webinar, the gear swap, the hazard tree article, the REI labor analysis article, the website changed log that documents all of our latest initiatives and privacy things, and the stewardship contribution page.
You can find those links under this episode's show notes at backpackinglight.com slash

Okay, let's go ahead and get into today's episode and talk about thermoregulatory debt.
Today we are talking about debt, D E B T.
In today's context, debt has a very simple structure.
You make a decision now that yields some benefit, and the cost appears sometime in the future.
This is easily illustrated with credit card debt.
You charge something to your credit card today, nothing hurts at the moment of
Purchase, you get the benefit of the new thing you bought right away.
The bill, the cost you have to pay, that comes later.
Now, if the balance is small, it's no big deal.
It's pretty easy to manage.
But if you keep buying more stuff and adding to that balance, that future cost, next month's bill, becomes harder to control.
