Customer Reviews
Maggotdrifter
Thanks for a great show! No fluff or filler. Intelligent reviews.
So much better than the typical thru hiker “knows everything” channels
Really appreciate all the long term experience and research that goes into each of your episodes. Always very sound and safe advice.
Much more legitimate than the YouTube channels with thru hikers who cannot provide legitimate techniques outside of their long hike experience.
Useful and thoughtful insights
Unbiased information to help you make your own decisions about backpacking gear and techniques, including clothing/layer systems. Also enjoy hearing guests reflecting on their outdoor experiences.
