It’s time for Derek and Carl to come clean about their top rookie mistakes. Many of these made on recent trips (well after they considered themselves ‘experienced backpackers’). Please learn from these ridiculous blunders and don’t do what they did. While some well-chronicled stories are shared about such things as the fanny pack incident, and the case of the missing sleeping pad, new events will also be revealed.

Some of the topics discussed:

-Forgetting Critical Gear

-Engineering Gear Hacks on the Trail

-National Parks: Yosemite, Rocky Mountain

-Underwear on the Trail

-Bear Incidents
