Today we have Travis Bertrand back on the show. This time we are talking about high end coolers and how they stack up against each other. For the last few years Travis has been doing what he calls the "Cooler Showdown" on Rokslide.com, comparing different coolers for ice retention and features that differ in each of them. In this episode we break it all down.

This week Chas Carmichael joins us to talk about radio communication. The Garmin InReach's, SPOT devices and others are great for very remote communicating, but nothing can replace a live conversation. Or as close to live as we can get in the backcountry. We talk about different walkie-talkie radio options along with the benefits of using HAM radio.
