EP-205 BACKPACKING ESSENTIALS: Gear Tips, Packing Mistakes, and Trail Wisdom from the Rockies


Listen Later

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with our show producer and returning guest, Mico, to dive into the art of backpacking and long-distance trekking. Last time, we focused on the best trails in the Canadian Rockies — but today, we’re talking about everything else that makes a backpacking trip successful. From choosing the right gear to packing light and learning from years of trial and error, this conversation is full of practical tips and personal stories.

 

We also share some of our own packing mistakes and talk about the importance of finding a system that works for you — whether that’s planning gear parties with friends or embracing the simplicity of cold soaking your meals.

 

If you’re new to backpacking or looking to lighten your load on the trail, this episode is packed with advice to help you get started.
