Fitting on Father's day to bring our dad onto the podcast. We had a great time reminiscing about our youth and all our outdoor hobbies. As expected, this podcast is filled with stories about our father growing up in the boyscouts, as well as our family's laughable memories from our childhood.  

Happy Father's day!

Time to drop some science on the podcast.  Dr. Rich LaFountain is an avid outdoorsman and post-doctoral researcher from The Ohio State University. His research interests include low-carbohydrate diets, exercise, military research, and cardiac resonance imaging.  

We talk to rich specifically about ketogenic/low-card diets and backpacking, specific fueling needs for fat-adapted backpackers, as well as nutritional needs for backpackers in general.  Rich came prepared with several slides and research-based anecdotes! Great discussion. We will be having more scientists/knowledge experts on our show - thanks for BSing Rich!

Tim Watson is a backpacker, YouTuber, and OG member of the Ohio backpacking crew.
