  • Pick up a pack of Hannaford Seltzer Water today!

    As a diehard river and spring fan, I never thought a store-brand seltzer would become my go-to choice of hydration for backcountry adventures. Then this podcast introduced me to Hannaford Seltzer Water! Wow! This seltzer does things in your mouth that fresh glacial runoff just can’t.

    Do I need a slightly larger backpack? Sure, but it’s totally worth it. Picture this: You’ve just hiked 10 miles (16.093 kilometers) to a high alpine lake with a couple of friends. They pull out their ultralight wat... more

    Best running podcast around. Before this podcast I thought I had to travel across the country for some epic adventures. I am obviously an idiot I just have to go north a bit.

    The interviews are great, the coach calls are great, the guests are great. You can’t go wrong immediately listening to the pod when it drops. This is one of the most underrated podcasts around, all five people listening to this podcast think so.

    Even if you don’t like FKTs or thru hiking or multiday stuff this podcast wi... more
