Instead, I've been thinking a lot about backpacking lately and wanted to do a show about all things backpacking. So this is going to be a discussion about why go backpacking, where to go backpacking, what to take |
| 1:12.5 | backpacking, tips and tricks for making it more enjoyable and more comfortable, lots of stories |
