Garrick enjoyed his first bikepacking trip. It involved a couple ferry rides from Seattle to the Kitsap Peninsula, questionable sushi choices, and a run in with the law.
Beth is leading a weekend trip to the Douglas Creek recreation area and shares some of her pre-trip planning tips and how she focuses on safety.
We discuss how we deal with rain while camping in the wet PNW through our gear selection.
Our news topic is about how to navigate community dynamics when it comes to trail stewardship.
Our main topic is about where we find ourselves on the spectrum of appreciating the journey or the destination more while overlanding. We close out the show by discussing what happens when a plan falls apart and you have to improvise.
