In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, myself plus a very special guest co-host are joined by Legend.

He's back and oh man does he have new stories to share. We chat all about

his previous year which was arguably busier than anyone in the backpacking world

including his Great Western Loop hike, a 7,000-mile trek, and his recent

Arizona Trail FKT. We go way deep on both of these hikes when we're not filling the

airwaves with laughter.

Legend is a funny guy, sorry, not sorry.

Also we unveil a new hiker of the week, sort of, and a brand new segment which will also likely

be retired after this episode.

All of this will make sense in a bit.

But first, if you've listened to Back Packer Radio,

you know that both Chaunts and I are big fans of Gossamer Gear, manufacturers of lightweight back in gear and accessories.

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

poles are some of the lightest on the planet.

Gossmoger is changing the perception of delicate ultralight gear. Chaunts and I are

both users of Gossmoger's packs and shelters. I use the Gorilla, their 40 liter pack on the PCT a couple years ago,

and we'll be using their updated model on some shorter hikes this year.

I also use a handful of their accessories including the smartphone shoulder strap pocket and their fanny pack

Chaunts is out romping around on the AT right now and rocking gossamer gears the one shelter

which is both roomy and light weighing in at less than one and a half

pounds it's the one you need as you know listeners of this podcast that's you can

score an exclusive deal on Gossmogear products.
