- Chaunce is sexist
Big fan of the show but Chaunes sexist views often get overlooked. She calls herself “old fashioned” so I shouldn’t be shocked. According to her taking out the trash is “a guys job.” And in a recent episode she thought it was okay for a mother to thru-hike but not so much the father.

She’s had other comments about men dealing with bears... more

United States20 days ago - I am a fan
I love listening to your podcast. I look forward to each episode and love listening on my way home from work.
I have learned tips and tricks for being on the trail. I live in San Diego and I am a local hiker, but one day hope to find myself doing the PCT. Maybe when I retire.
I really enjoy this podcast! Thank you for making me laugh and drawing me in.
BTW, the leach scene is in the movie Stand by Me.

While stuck in LA traffic or trapped in my man box at work, I listen to your adventures and it helps me escape for a while. Interesting guests, a great balance of humor and info. Thanks for keeping me from totally losing my mind
Apple Podcasts5ddmansprtyUnited States22 days ago - Stick to hiking
I am writing to thank you for the hiking content but ask that you try to keep your very wrong thoughts on medicine/health/nutrition to yourselves. At the very least you could provide a main stream health provider on to provide fact/evidence based advice. Some of the very wrong advice on vitamins/supplements could actually be harmful. For example daily ( in town) electrolytes is wasteful at best and renal toxic at worst. I have learned so much from you all about hikes and gear I just wish the ... more
