Big fan of the show but Chaunes sexist views often get overlooked. She calls herself “old fashioned” so I shouldn’t be shocked.

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

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
