Three things that make the daily commute or a light overnight painless: a bag that carries a laptop and a change of clothes without wrecking your back, water that stays cold to your desk, and a classic day-pack for the weekend version of the same trip.
Four books to read on your rest days. One will make you want to run further, two will fix how you breathe and sleep so you recover better, and one is simply the best sports story ever written. Motivation and marginal gains in equal measure.
Four modern classics about walking, wilderness and why we go. Two long-distance walks that put a life back together, Macfarlane on the old paths under our feet, and Krakauer's haunting account of going too far. Perfect for the night before a big trip.
The three things that actually changed how I sleep and wind down: a mattress that suits most sleepers, warm dimmable lighting you control from your phone, and a wall of colour-changing panels for the evening low-light mood. Small room, big difference.
The short-list I hand anyone starting to walk the hills: a pack that carries well, water you will actually drink, light for when the day runs late, and a fleece that earns its place in every season. Nothing precious, everything hard-wearing.
Everything a first-time producer needs to record vocals and program beats at home. A class-compliant interface, a studio condenser and a live-workhorse dynamic cover every mic'ing situation, while the mini-keys controller and analogue drum machine get ideas down fast.
