What's up everybody? Welcome to episode number 82 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a huge hiking nerd and every single week on this podcast, I chat with other hiking nerds

about their experiences on the trail. Or sometimes we don't even talk about their experiences

on the trail and instead we just BS about random backpacking things. And that's what this episode

is. Baker Bocorny's back for something, I think it's eight, episode number eight on Trail

Tales, something ridiculous like that. But the theme of this episode was backpacking gear

inventions that don't exist, or most of them don't exist anyways, things that we envision

that we wish existed, that could be cool things that don't exist already. So if you're an entrepreneur,

if you're looking to get into the backpacking gear game, then maybe you can rip off some of our

ideas here. Kind of like we ripped off the idea for this from Backpacker Radio in the first place,

or at least I did. So that's where the idea came from. I talk about that at the beginning of the

episode. But it was really fun. about that at the beginning of the episode.

But it was really fun. Baker concluded at the end, as you're going to hear, he concluded that my ideas were better than his, which I don't know if I agree with, but I did have some pretty good

ideas. I'm going to just humble brag that here for a second. And it was just a really fun episode.

Definitely a lot different than most of these. So I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you do and to Baker. As always, thank you for being my last minute backup guest. And I'm looking forward to episode number nine with Baker, which will probably be out soon.
