  • Useful info based on experience & research, calmly delivered w/ hype

    I’ve been a life member since 2006, but just started listening to the podcast. Not surprised at the level of detail & useful information. I’m very experienced but still learned a lot from the pod on lightning in the backcountry. It was easily the most realistic, succinct info for backpackers I’ve seen on that topic. The first aid kit info was also great. I look forward to selectively listening to the other topics I’m interested in while xc skiing or hiking out my door☺️

  • Used to be good

    This used to be a good show, with frequent guests but now it’s just the host promoting gear and website content and sharing his personal opinion about gear and methods. There was a co-host and that person hasn’t been around in many episodes. At times it sounds like one long advertisement for Zoleo or Garmin.

  • microphone gain too low on host, guest barely audible

    great content that is difficult to listen to thanks to the hosts inability to mix their audio. To hear the host speak, the intro music blasts in my car. i have to turn the volume all the way up for the host to be at a fair level, causing my navigation to be obscenely loud. i want to listen to this show but nearly always either can barely hear it or turn it off because of the too low microphone gain. for the love of god turn up your microphone by 3db.

  • Depth and breadth in backpacking light

    The quality of subjects and depth of knowledge is second to none. If you are into the how things work, why they work or looking for in depth analysis an real from the field trial and testing then this is the outdoor podcast for you. Highly recommended.
