    Making The Change To Van Camping

    This episode is all about the future of camping, RVing and road trips. The world has changed and the green movement is finding its way into the outdoor industry in many ways. Van life will certainly be a more affordable option for many, so today we talk to a listener of the show, Nick. As he and his wife approach retirement, they're making the change from a popup camper to a full-sized van. Let's let Nick explain the vehicle and the plan.

    From Backpacking To Airstreams, With Scott From Trust The Trail Podcast

    Scott is co-host of a fantastic backpacking podcast, Trust The Trail. He agreed to come on the show and share his years of experience and training with us. As a new backpacker, my goal was to suck up as much information as I could. But Scott is also quite an entertaining guest. We had a lot of fun in this episode. You can learn all about Scott and his co-host/partner Ariane at TrustTheTrailPodcast.com.  Scott and Ariane also spent 3 years rebuilding a classic 70s Airstream Argosy. Hopefully, they will be willing to talk about that experience in a future episode. For now, I just want to give a GREAT BIG THANKS to Scott for taking time out of a busy day to share with all of us.

    Exploring Trails Around The Campground, Hiking And Backpacking

    We found a few great apps to help you find walking, riding, even 4 wheeling trails around you. We are mostly interested in hiking trails, so we chose a favorite app to help. I had a great conversation with Glen Mutchler, an experienced backpacker, and owner of Equalized Bookkeeping. You can contact Glen at EqualizedBookkeeping.com.
