In this episode, I take you behind the scenes as I plan my very first backpacking trip to the stunning Ozette Triangle on the Washington coast. I’ll walk you through how I chose the location, what research and prep have looked like so far, and some of the gear and food I’m planning to bring. Whether you’re prepping for your first trip or just want a refresher, this episode is all about real talk, lessons learned, and figuring it out as I go. Let’s get ready to hit the trail—newbie style.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Newbie Backpacker podcast. For anyone who has ever thought, “I’d love to start backpacking… but I don’t know where to start”.
Hosted by Tim, a firefighter, Active Duty sailor (soon to be veteran) and total beginner when it comes to backpacking. This show is all about learning from scratch, making mistakes, and sharing real, unfiltered experience of becoming a backpacker as an adult.
Todays episode I will talk about:
.Why I’m starting this podcast
. What backpacking means to me right now
.What you can expect from future episodes (gear talk, trail recaps, fails, and maybe a brew or two)
If you’re a curious beginner or someone who just wants to slow down and reconnect with the outdoors— this one is for you
