One of the best parts about hiking is encountering wildlife. So how about a trip that enables you to find one of the most elusive creatures...the Sasquatch? Carl provides 3 tips and a specific trip plan for potentially finding a Bigfoot. Derek, on the other hand, uses his own research to debunk them entirely. Also, are Wookies just Bigfoot from a galaxy far far away and is Chewbacca actual video evidence? Those items are addressed as well.

Strange, weird and sometimes unfrotunate things happen out in the wild (or even just off the road). Derek and Carl share a few of the most unexpected and interesting stories they have come across.  One involves a dangerous shoe while another is entitled "When Fur isn't Enough".

While many of today's survival shows feature scenarios that most are unlikely to encounter (e.g. stumbling upon a drug cartel in Peru that was addressed in Dual Survival), there are some suvival-type circumstances that one could experience while hiking. Pulling from his vast survival knowledge (i.e. watching some different surival TV shows), Derek attempts to solve a couple of scenarios that Carl throws at him. Also, Carl's wife, Jessica, stops by for a segment where she handles her own scenario. Is the wisdom gleaned from this episode applicable to potential backcountry experiences? You be the judge!

Derek and Carl finally address the question they've been throwing out: how much weight can you save or how can you improve your backpacking experience with $100? Somehow one of the items mentioned addresses a potential issue with bears that have access to guns.
