On this episode of False Summit, we bring you two stories that prove the great outdoors doesn’t care how prepared—or overconfident—you think you are.

First, we hit the water for Night Kayak, where a peaceful solo fishing trip turns into a chilling fight for survival. Spoiler: Wear your damn life vest.

Then, it’s off to the mountains for Frozen Staircase, where a winter hike on an icy trail goes from sketchy to downright dangerous in seconds. A lesson in mountaineering gear, quick reflexes, and the thin line between adventure and disaster.

Finally, in Trail Mix, Em serves up a playlist inspired by love on the trail—because nothing says romance like questionable decision-making and adrenaline-fueled moments. And for Trail Etiquette & Other Shit, we break down kayaking safety tips so you don’t end up as the next 911 call.

Strap in, hit play, and let’s see where the trail takes us.
