  • 10 STUPID but Common Beginner Backpacking Mistakes (w/ Sintax77)

    Sintax77 is BACK on the show, and in this episode we're going over common beginner backpacking mistakes! The reason I'm calling these 'stupid' mistakes is because, well, I'm an idiot and I've made pretty much all of these mistakes at one point or another. Sintax77 is the man, I'm so grateful he came back on the show, and I hope you enjoy!

  • The Depressing TRUTH about the Pacific Crest Trail that NOBODY wants to hear…

    Frozen from Outdoor Adventures joins the show to talk about his upcoming thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT 2024). He previously hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2019, and is now taking his talents to the Pacific Crest Trail. We talk about what he is nervous about, what gear changes he's made, and how he is planning on dealing with the depressing reality that the Pacific Crest Trail will probably catch on fire while he's out there.

  • The Most OVERRATED Gear in Backpacking!

    Baker is back and in this episode we talk (and disagree) about some of the most OVERRATED types of backpacking gear on the market. At the end of the day everyone is going to have different opinions on what backpacking gear is worth taking, but hopefully this discussion between two thru hikers can help guide your own opinion. What do you think is 'cooler', hammocks or fanny packs?!
