Episode 42: Linda Åkerberg - 2019 Female Adventurer of the Year - Hike or Die Outdoor Adventure Podcast

Why is choosing a new hiking backpack so difficult? Apart from an endless list of brands, models and sizes, there is the added pressure of making the correct choice given that a new pack is such a big ticket item. When you consider all of that, it's not surprising that it can be extremely overwhelming for both beginner and veteran hikers.

Episode 41: How to choose the perfect hiking backpack - HIKE OR DIE Outdoor Adventure Podcast

We recently embarked on our wettest hike in a long time. I'm talking, so wet that roads were flooding and campsites were closing. We tell you all about it in this episode, including yet another leech encounter for Craig, and it's a good one too.
We also share some news on the third woman to complete all 158 summits of the Able Mountains, a crazy story of mountain climbers in the 70s when a Drug Plane crashes into a Yosemite lake. We also discuss "wet-out" in your rain gear and how to fix it.
And if you aren't sure if you are considered one of the 17 worst hiking partners in the world, then you better take a listen to put your mind at ease, or at least help you change your ways.
