Ben Kline, a long time high school buddy of mine and I sit down to talk about Ben's forray into backpacking.  Althought he's only been at it a few years now, Ben has already taken some pretty epic trips to Olympia, Sawtooth, Zion and Glacier.

We talk through his gear, how he prepares for trips and some of the lessons he's learned as he's gone.  I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too!
