“I’m new to hiking at 48 years old. In my research I’ve come to realize the space is flooded with information from experts and gear fanatics. It can be intimidating for a newbie. This podcast has been fantastic for someone who just wants to learn the ropes and get out on the trail for personal...”Read full review »

“Couldn’t get past the first few episodes. Horrible recommendations. Such as an emergency blanket backpacking, essentials oils and packing out hydrogen peroxide. I cringe imagining what’s in their pack.”

“This is probably the best podcast about backpacking out there. I wish they could make a new podcast about something else, but related in a way to this one or like they said they could check back in every once in a while just to talk with the listeners or this podcast. All in all I’m just really...”Read full review »

I have never been hiking in my life, but I close my eyes and enjoy the outdoors, just the same.
The knowledge, anecdotes, product reviews, and FUN are what make this podcast my all-time favorite....”Read full review »

“It’s like they know me and what I’m thinking. The know my worries and tell me how to get through it. Backpacking is more than preparing with the gear, it’s preparing mentally and making yourself strong before you go out.”
