Why is choosing a new hiking backpack so difficult? Apart from an endless list of brands, models and sizes, there is the added pressure of making the correct choice given that a new pack is such a big ticket item. When you consider all of that, it's not surprising that it can be extremely overwhelming for both beginner and veteran hikers.

We recently embarked on our wettest hike in a long time. I'm talking, so wet that roads were flooding and campsites were closing. We tell you all about it in this episode, including yet another leech encounter for Craig, and it's a good one too.
We also share some news on the third woman to complete all 158 summits of the Able Mountains, a crazy story of mountain climbers in the 70s when a Drug Plane crashes into a Yosemite lake. We also discuss "wet-out" in your rain gear and how to fix it.
And if you aren't sure if you are considered one of the 17 worst hiking partners in the world, then you better take a listen to put your mind at ease, or at least help you change your ways.

There's an art to taking kids into the wilderness, keeping them entertained, engaged and safe, but also creating an experience that they want to be part of next time. That goes for the parents or carers too. If you don't enjoy the process and adventure, then you won't be as inclined to jump at the next opportunity.
In this episode, we share all of our tips and recommendations to help steer you in the right direction when planning and embarking on an outdoor adventure with children. It doesn't have to be as intimidating as it first appears and we give plenty of insights and tangible advice based on what has worked for us in the past with our own families. It's time to get those kids outdoors and start introducing the next generation to the wonders of the outdoors. This episode might just be the last last piece of the puzzle you've been looking for!

Shawn Peach's filming assignments have taken him all over the world. As a result he has an endless list of interesting and amazing stories.
He has lived with reindeer herders in Mongolia, crossed the Simpson Desert and hung off the side of too many 4x4s to count, all in the name of capturing the perfect shot and telling the story.

When Nick Monaghan enters the Australian wilderness, he moves at a different pace to what you and I would. Hiking to him is not about the destination, the distance or vast mountain ranges. It's about discovery in a much smaller world.
Nick is a macro-photographer of insects, focused more on what's hiding behind a leaf or within the bark of a tree and it's surprising what he can reveal from within a relatively small area of bushland or rainforest.
Nick has had his work published in several books and papers and in this episode we're lucky enough to have him join us and reveal all the secrets and rewards of his work in the tiny world of insects.

Paul Barach is able to undertake (and complete) enormous tasks including writing his own book (Fighting Monks and Burning Mountains: Misadventures on a Buddhist Pilgrimage), hiking the PCT and cycling across the United States.
The list of Paul's amazing mental and physical feats is long but probably the most unusual to the general hiking community is his completion of the entire 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) journey of the Shikoku Pilgrimage in Japan.
Paul reveals to us his passions, what motivates him to start such challenging adventures and his approach to completing them. As with any big adventure, Paul's journeys do not always go smoothly and in this podcast format we were able to explore those in detail with him.

We catch up on all of their adventures since we last spoke, our 2020 hiking highlights and a whole bunch of other things from moose sausage to filming glaciers and hiking across Spain. It's a fun format that we've been wanting to experiment with for some time. Let us know what you think and until next year, stay safe and get out into the wilderness.

Ross McGibbon is without a doubt the most qualified guy I can think of to photograph dangerous and deadly snakes. Yes, he knows his way around a camera, but it's his previous experience as a snake catcher and his love for this reptile that makes him the perfect candidate.
In this episode, Ross expresses his appreciation and fascination for snakes and other reptiles. It's hard to talk to him and not take some of that enthusiasm onboard, but on top of that, he removes a lot of false fears associated with snakes and their behaviours and exposes them for the beautiful reptiles that they are.
If you can't stand snakes, you need to listen to this episode and if you love snakes, well this one's for you.

Tom Fabbri's journey to complete the Seven Summits (that's summiting the tallest peak on every continent) is almost complete as he sets his sights on Mt Everest. The more we got to know Tom throughout the podcast, the more we discovered a journey that's been everything but easy.

Chase Tucker loves preparing climbers and hikers for the mountains. As soon as you begin talking to him it's quite obvious. He also has an extensive knowledge of the kind of mobility required to tackle the kind of terrain you find in the wilderness. He's a mountain training specialist but as we found out, there's a lot more layers to Chase than a stereotypical fitness trainer. We get pretty deep on a whole bunch of topics from Wim Hof breathing to dopamine fasting and even journal writing.It was a very enjoyable podcast to present and we were privileged to share so much time with him. If you want to connect both your mental and physical attributes to better conquer the mountains, then this may just be the episode for you.Visit our Podcast Show Notes page for access to all the information and references we have discussed on this episode.
