I know – A tool is only good as its user, but…
I could not create Night in Venice photo series with a smartphone.
Going to ride Vanoise tracks with my old city bike would probably be a very stupid move that outcomes with a very short ride and damage to the bike… and me.
And spending night on Golija or any other mountain without proper gear, it would lead to severe hypothermia and pneumonia.
You do not need the most expensive and most advanced gear, but you do need proper gear for the task.
This is my choice.
