Each episode will cover various hiking topics, the 181 days we spent on the PCT, interviews with fellow hikers/trail angels, or even chats with gear junkies. We are a married couple who love hiking and ultra running. In 2022, we sold everything and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Listen in as we shoot the hiking breeze.

    E33: Therm-a-Rest /Sleeping Pads & Upkeep Explained / Brandon Bowers
    Jun 13 2024
    Episode Summary: In this episode of Yeti Walks Into Basecamp, we spend some time with Brandon Bowers of the PNW, Product Manager for Therm-a-Rest. Curious what sleeping mat/mattress/pad is right for you? Ever wonder what exactly that arbitrary looking “R” value is? Think your pad sounds like a spent potato chip bag every time you turn over on it? Can you slap a piece of tape on a leaking mattress and think it’s good as new? We discuss ALL these things, and more, and just how much effort goes into making those kingpins of the hiking/backpacking sleep system world: the NeoAir Xtherm, NeoAir Xlite, and the Uberlite. Topics: Therm-A-Rest, sleeping, sleep system, pads, mattresses, pad repair The Scoop: Want to hear all of our episodes, including the Bonus episodes (B1, B2…)? You can!

    Jun 5 2024

    Episode Summary: In this episode of Yeti Walks Into Basecamp, we round up our Week 6 from the previous episode and cover our Week 7 on the PCT which may have very well been the most difficult week for Basecamp from wind blasting ridges to a pack she can barely carry. The week takes us from Hikertown, along the L.A. Aqueduct, into Tehachapi, and finishing at Landers Spring Meadow Campground. Listen in!

    Topics: PCT, Week 7, wind, Tehachapi
