In today's episode of Backpack Radio, we are joined by Ryan Lynn, aka Guthook, the person behind the infamous Guthook apps.

Have a fun conversation about his hiking background, what went into the app, and a whole lot more.

We have some trail propaganda, we have a Triple Crown of, and we do the other regular jazz

before we get into the episode episode I do want to give a

shout out to today's sponsor Sawyer Products the product that I do want to give a

shout out to and this is the second episode in the row in a row I think it's

definitely what we're talking about is the micro-squeeze filter.

I think this is going to be huge for Thruhikers.

I'm really excited about this actually.

Yeah, Chons is seeing it for the first time.

I thought it was like a new mini but this is like a mini squeeze.

So it kind of combines the best of the mini and the regular Sawyer and that it like this the

appearance is kind of mini-esque it's maybe a hair bigger than the mini this is smaller than the

solar squeeze it's 1.2 ounces lighter and according to them and I've tested it

just a little bit I haven't done any field testing yet but the flow rate is

comparable to the regular

squeeze which is exciting to any way to get any way to get any way to get the most

popular filtration system even lighter and maintain the same flow rate is a good thing.

And I don't know if, I mean, it may already do this,

but I don't know if the regular squeeze does this,

but you can attach it to a water bladder

and then just like drink straight from the water bladder
