  • For All hikers, backpackers

    This podcast is fantastic for all outdoorsy people, not just Texans. The stories translate to all hikes and trails and backpacking trips. They feel more like I’m sitting down listening to friends talk about their highs and lows, tips and tricks, rather than a hyper commercialized salesfest. It makes me want to get outside more.
