I'm going to Welcome to the Hunts Backcountry Podcast. This is episode number 457 and it is the first of two

episodes that we are releasing back to back about our recent 2024 death hike in the Grand

Canyon.

In this episode, Steve and I recap the hike, the plan, the preparation, and ultimately how it went.

And then in episode number 458, you can hear from four other participants of the hike and learn from their experiences and takeaways from the hike.

Additionally, there is a link in the show description if you want to see some behind the scenes video, some photos,

links to some of the gear that we mentioned, examples of my food list and what I used for nutrition on this hike, so be sure to check that out as well.

As always, we appreciate you tuning in if you're enjoying the show and can leave a

rating or review in whatever podcast app you were using that does help us

tremendously and if you have any questions or feedback for us directly send an

email to podcast at exomountaine gear. Come.
