Then on today’s Top 5 List, we’ll peruse an issue of Backpacker Magazine from 40 years ago and see what catches our eye. On Ready for Adventure, the Olympics do have backpacking! On the Backpack Hack of the Week, we’ll share a listener’s life hack. And we’ll wrap up the show with our good friend on the trail, Horace Kephart.
