Listen Later

Editor and producer for my channel Luke McKay joins me for a candid conversation about the backpacking niche. We answer the follow questions; What is the current state of backpacking YouTube? What can be done to take this niche to the next level? And, who are some of the creators we feel are currently pushing boundaries and making truly unique content?
