I tried the future of outdoor life | Beau Miles

SUPERHUMAN: A company that makes exoskeletons reached out and asked if I’d be interested in wearing their devices on an outdoor mission. Sure, I said, as long as I can do my own kind of mission in my own kind of way. So, I decided to stock a remote mountain hut with beans, given I like beans, and I like mountain huts- and have used them in the past as refuge. To get there I decided to go down, then up, one of the longest spurs in Australia- the perfect terrain to test out a set of devices that are said to boost my leg power by 50%. As a self confessed luddite, this was an experiment with an idea as much as new technology.
