Episode 69: A Dozen Ways To Die

October 31, 2019 By Leave a Comment

In Episode 69, Cardiac and Drone Boy are back after a nearly two year hiatus to discuss a “Dozen Ways To Die In the Backcountry” – an article that first appeared in Backpacker Magazine in 2008 and was recently published online.

The topic tonight is timely since we record Halloween eve and take a “stab” at the Top 12 reasons hikers and backpackers get killed in the wilderness.  We also discuss what was left off the list (and merits inclusion) plus offer up some lessons to assure you are not a casulty in the wilderness.

You can see the live video recording of this podcast on Drone Boy’s YouTube channel, or for a bonus show that covers this topic in a more rowdy and explicit manner check out Episode 62 “Backpacker Feud”.

Subject: A Dozen Ways To Die
Interviewees: Scott (Cardiac); Gary (Drone Boy)
