- Choosing the bear
Long time listener, first time caller. Love the show, the interviews, the info about gear and trails. Would have to say the guy stuff episode doesn’t need a 2.0.

Long time listener. Joined on Patreon awhile ago. I listen on my commute to downtown Phoenix and love the content, banter, and guests.
Used to be a regular day hiker when the kids were young. Lately just been out birding…Looking forward to doing some more long distance hiking but the career, older kids and their club sports get in the way…
Anyway, keep up the great work and engaging content for us “would be hikers” that are stuck in our cars on the way to work. Thanks, Matty in AZ
