This week's podcast is a little different than usual. We set up some gear and recorded a post-trip podcast in the hotel room the night after we got out of the woods from our most recent guided trip. It's always great to hear the why's behind why people choose to join us on these trips and we hope that it might inspire you to get out there and do the same! 

Thank you to each and everyone who came on this trip. We are better people for having suffered through this together.
