While lightening one's load is not a new topic, Derek and Carl discuss (hopefully) unexpected ways to reduce weight in your pack. Admittedly there is at least one "Captain Obvious" suggestion that Derek introduces. He also somehow worked in why not to bring celery.

Thank you for listening everyone. Please hit us up at [email protected]  with any questions or comments. We'd love to include them in a future podcast. And remember...it's not backpacking if there aren't a few blisters along the way.
