While the real Darwin Awards involve poking fun at others' misfortunate deaths, the Backpacking and Blisters version pokes fun at others' misfortunate decisions (mostly). Derek and Carl share their own ability to earn this version of Darwin Awards as well as an assortment of experiences others have shared. Is there something to be learned from these ridiculous mistakes or are experienced wilderness travelers beyond reproach in this area? You be the judge. Derek also works in a motorcycle story that he believes relates to this topic.

Backpacking Gear

Everybody has their own way of doing things. And while some of them are innovative and awesome, others can be downright weird and questionable. Derek and Carl explore a number of common (and not-so-common) hiking tips and tricks that are out there...along with a couple of booby traps to set (and watch out for).
