Sometimes just getting to the trailhead is the biggest challenge of the trip. In this episode Derek and Carl explore some common and uncommon (but true) stories of trip sabotage. Guest host, Chris Wimberly, provides the voice of reason in attempts to prevent trips getting derailed in the future. In addition to the main topic, Derek and Carl finally tackle Steve's question about going ultralight on a budget.
