19: Dear Outdoor Industry Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Darwin is joined by Film Maker/Thru-Hiker Nick Greene to discuss what we "should" expect of the Outdoor Industry when it comes to stepping up for our Public Lands. Does a company that's in the Outdoor Industry owe anything to Public Lands? Why are we, as a community, not expecting this of the industry more? How can we, as consumers, change the landscape of where our money goes? These two filmmakers discuss their thoughts on all this and more.

18: Burning Down the Trail Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Darwin is joined by Einstein to discuss a growing issue in the Thru-Hiking and overall Outdoor Communities... Wildfires! Last year we saw the PCT completely shut down in early September, and watched as nearly every Southbound hiker who set off on the journey from Canada to Mexico had to end their hike early. This was just the most recent extreme consequence of the growing trend of wildfires, particularly in the Western US, and how they are affecting people's outdoor adventures. How will Wildfires continue to shape the future of thru-hiking? Has fire become a prominant feature of thru-hiking as much as the trail itself? What can we, as a community, do about it?

16: Backcountry Nutrition Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Darwin is joined by Licensed Dietician and Valley To Peak Nutrition founder, Kyle Kamp, to talk about all things nutrition in the outdoors. Finding the perfect balance between a healthy diet & an efficient fuel source on a long-distance adventure can often seem impossible. Are the High Sugar & High Sodium foods we eat in the backcountry effecting our long term health? What are some good strategies to maintain a balanced diet on the trail? Is the "HikerTrash" Junk Food Diet we eat for months at a time really that bad for us?

15: Post Adventure Blues Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Darwin is joined by fellow 2021 CDT Thru-Hiker, Triple Crowner, and Wilderness Therapy Instructor Justin Helmkamp to talk about what happens after the hike (or adventure) is OVER. There's always a focus on the highs and lows during a long adventure, but what about the many difficulties folks can run into in the weeks and months after finishing something like a thru-hike? What can someone completing a long, meaningful experience expect when they get back home? What can you do to fight off the "Post Adventure Blues?

Over the years we have occasionally shared our love of two-wheeled adventures, but this episode is fully-dedicated to why bikepacking/touring is so awesome. How is it similar/different to backpacking? Is it really that hard to transition from hiking to cycling? And finally... Is Bikepacking Better??
