Outdoor adventure filmmaker Chris Smead joins the show to discuss backpacking gear that we both loved…and now leave behind (or sell on eBay). You may know Chris from the movie ‘Highline’ or from some of his amazing documentary projects. Chris always brings a positive and creative spin to the topic anytime he’s on the show.

Some of the topics discussed in this week’s episode:

-Backpacking gear that’s becoming obsolete

-Backpacking gear we now leave behind

-Alternative backpacking gear options that are simply better
