 hello and thank you for listening to this episode of the get out there podcast my name is Billy Newman i’m here with robert biskra how you doing Robert hey Billy I’m doing love with you I’m doing good man thanks for calling in doing that episode five we got to el you got the feed started we got a couple episodes up it’s kind of fun thanks for doing the pie out yeah we’re moving right along we’re hitting a couple is for a for the little bit of time that we’ve been doing it but um so we finished up a conversation in episode 4 we were talking about some of our experiences backpacking like I was talking about that will allow as you’re talking about that King range chip that you had and I know at the end of that we talked we just kind of come up to that idea where we wanted to talk a little bit about some of the equipment that we brought with us or like some of the breakdown so we have is a gear that we’d bring when we were backpacking or we’re doing other stuff I wanted to break that that idea down with you a little bit yeah I mean it’s pretty important it can make or break a trip kind of depending on what you have or don’t have yeah I’m definitely a Miss packed before oh yeah so oh go ahead Robert oh I was just going to say you tend to overpack or under pack let’s see I think well so I guess is gone for backpacking originally I was over pack now it’s probably still over packed but I’ve gotten it I’ve got a pretty tight when I’m in shape for it I do an okay job but when I noticed there was when you like you accidentally or you just mishap and don’t bring something that you really needed like the way that’s always been for me is like a sleeping pad or something like that like what it’s like that thing where it goes from like it’s like thirty percent less of a comfortable trip just because of that one thing that you don’t have yeah anyways so little yeah you have you have everything else in association with it but you don’t have that one piece set I think that’s happened a couple times before like I don’t know it’s got to happen to look like my stove or with food or something like that like we talked about Tabasco on our last chip yeah and we had that it’s just one ingredient this would be rad see I I’m the opposite i always tend to overpack I like I I go overkill I just start getting to that mindset of like well okay what if I had to make a splint well okay well I need rope okay what if I had to do this and I just get into all these you know hypotheticals and then I am attacking for every situation I could think of I packed for way too many hypotheticals yeah but you know what’s funny is a do all that planning and then the one thing that would happen would be the only thing you can compensate for man it’s really true sometimes that’s that that’s what we’re kind of the compensation about the outdoors you get like you can plan for a lot of hypotheticals and I want to break this down with you two later probably but like the idea of like equipment that you bring versus risk like how likely is that risk to happen that you need the equipment there’s probably some different experiences we have around that but it’s just kind of like a weird idea of how much how much effort goes into preventing certain types of things well maybe like a lot of that stuff can be handled with like a Leatherman I guess if you think are like yeah some some Swiss Army
