In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, we're joined by Justin Helm Camp,

aka Two Taps, who was kind enough to extend his layover in Denver to record this show.

and his work as a wilderness therapist. We do a patent pending and we commence the all-important

Chonst don't chafe hashtag. But first, if you've listened to Backbacker Radio, you know that both

Chaunst and I are big fans of gossamer gear,

manufacturers of lightweight backpacking gear and accessories.

Their packs carry comfortably, their roomy shelters protect in harsh weather conditions,

and their trekking poles are some of the lightest on the planet.

Gossamer gear is changing the perception of delicate ultralight gear.

Chonson I are both users of Gossamer gears packs and shelters.

I use the Gorilla, their 40 liter pack on the PCT a couple years ago and will be using their new model on some hikes this year.

I also use a handful of their accessories including the smartphone shoulder strap pocket, which makes it very convenient to just grab your phone to snap a picture check gut hook etc

Chaunts is out on the AT right now and she's rocking gossamer gears the one shelter the one is both roomy and. It comes in at less than a pound and a half. It's the one you need as you know.
