Ep. 12- Intro to Backpacking

We really love the freedom and adventure that come with heading out on the trail with nothing but what you carry on your back. This is the first episode in our learn to backpack series. Intro to backpacking covers the basic concepts and categories of gear you will need to start backpacking. Our aim is when you listen to the series and read the accompanying articles you will know everything you need to head out on your first backpacking trip. If you are already a backpacker, hopefully, you will learn some new tricks you can use to make your next trip better.

Ep. 7 - Barbells and Backpacks

You can't have much of an adventure if you are out of shape. If you are tired after a couple miles or call it a day after one climb, you aren't making the best use of adventure time. In this episode of Barbells and Backpacks, we talk about how we train for backpacking and climbing while still having time to work and do this podcast. Cut through the fluff and make your next trek a great one.

Get the podcast where ever you like to get your podcasts. iTunes, Google Play, Podbean. We don't care where you get it, just that you give it a listen.

Ep. 5 - Micro Adventures

Since we are the part-time adventure podcast it makes sense that we don’t always have time for multi-week adventures. But the jonesing to get out is always there, so a lot of our adventures are what we call micro adventures.  In this episode, we talk about how to get adventure in when you don’t have a lot of free time. You know, those times when you tell yourself you might as well skip it due to not enough time. We have a bunch of tips on how to fit micro adventures into your day-to-day life.

Ep. 2 - Fear

We have a unique relationship with fear. It can be what pushes us but also what holds us back from pursuing our dreams. This is even more so in the outdoors. This episode we talk all about our fears and how to control them. From bears to heights, we cover a lot of ground. Overcoming your fears is transformative.
