Twin brother adventurers are comparing state of the art outdoor gear to 100-year-old heritage kit

Carryology:

One figure is a vision of modern mountaineering: clad in streamlined, synthetic insulation, waterproof membranes, and modern plastic boots. The other looks like he just stepped out of a sepia-toned photograph from 1914: wrapped in heavy wool, gabardine cotton, and cumbersome leather boots treated with dubbin.

...

Gone are the days of lugging heavy machinery up mountains. Today, their biometrics are tracked by ingestible sensor pills that monitor core temperature from the inside out, patches that analyze sweat composition, and smartphone-connected hygrometers taped to their skin to measure moisture buildup under layers.

(The verdict is, if you know how to use the antiquated stuff correctly, you're almost as warm as the cutting edge stuff)

Funny detail about looking for free parking near Dodger stadium

LA Material:

there’s another option for fans who can handle a 15-minute uphill walk and a few menacing signs.

Find your way to McDuff Street just north of Little Joy. And as long as it’s not Opening Day or the playoffs and you get there at least an hour before first pitch, you will likely find a spot.

You’ll see “LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY” sandwich boards, set out in the region to deter would-be-shortcutters from exiting the long lines on Sunset Blvd and Scott Ave. But it’s not illegal to park there. Per a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation: “Dodgers’ traffic contractors, not LADOT, install the “Local Traffic Only” signs.”
