In today's episode of Backback Radio, we have a fun conversation with Nicky Rayon, The Bionic Woman,

and Chaunts and I engage in a good old-fashioned Iron Chef contest.

But before we get into the show, I want to give a shout out to today's sponsor

Sawyer products Sawyer is the maker of a slew of essential hiker-focused products

including permethrin fabric treatment to help ward off ticks, but caroten, topical insect

repellent to give yourself a suit of armor against mosquitoes, the Sawyer Squeeze, which is the

most popular water filtration device amongst through hikers,

and the new select filters and purifiers, which utilize a foam absorption technology

to remove chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, viruses, heavy metals, and more.

Check them out at Sawyer.com or at your local outfitter.
