  • Best backpacking podcast out there

    There is a surprisingly huge hole in the market for good backpacking podcasts. Other shows are either too formulaic, way too much pointless banter, excessive use of AI, or way too dry. I’ve found Yeti and Basecamp to be entertaining, knowledgeable and they keep a nice balance between banter and substance. Also have a lot of great guests. The only thing I wish they would do is less of the 2022 PCT stories and stick to more current adventures.
