Stories From the Trail Episode 5: Getting Geared Up

Another episode is out!

In preparation for his first overnight hike, Daniel calls into the show from REI. If you’ve ever wanted to virtually help a new hiker select their gear, now’s your chance. Or maybe you are that new hiker. Even better!

We help pick out some equipment and explain a few of the mysteries behind those choices. What’s a “lumens”? How many fill count do I need? What’s a baffle? And where’s my underwear?

Climb into Daniel’s pocket, put Green Giant in your ears and sip some free coffee with us while we do our best to not get thrown out for causing a scene.

As always, you can listen anywhere quality shows are found… or here. 🙂

 

(Daniel’s call came as a surprise, so Megan was unable to join us this time. She asked me to tell you all that she misses you.)
