  • E29: But Why? / LNT / Jesse & Elena / Part 1

    E29: But Why? / LNT / Jesse & Elena / Part 1
    May 2 2024


    Episode Summary: In this episode of “Yeti Walks Into Basecamp” we speak with the Subaru/LNT team, Jesse & Elena. They spend some 11 months traveling the U.S. to teach and preach the message of leave no trace (LNT) while camping along the way. Think that’s a lot of gas use? Well, there may be a change in store there too! In this first half of a 2-part episode, we cover some of the first 2 LNT principles (there are 7 in total) and discuss a lesser known, visibly stunning trail in Hawaii- the Kalalau Trail (a ~22 mi. out and back). Sit in for this first half and become a semiprofessional in LNT.

    Topics: LNT, leave no trace, Kalalau Trail, plan ahead, prepare, camp on durable surfaces, stewards, stewardship, wicked problems

    Episode Summary: In this episode of “Yeti Walks Into Basecamp” we finish the second half of our interview with Pierre “Build-a-Bear” Paladin about hiker hacks. We dive much deeper into the hacks here, about the best part of any trail you hike, and throw some rapid-fire questions his way where we discover he’s been pink blazed…and a possible marriage proposal on the AT? We then wrap with a pretty solid list of some of our favorite hiker hacks along with a nice handful pulled from the interwebs. Buckle up, sit down, put your job on hold, and listen in.

    Topics: Hiking hacks, hacks, mountain goats, moose, pink blazing
