Sometimes I nap for 30 min to an hour on a multi-day. Often don’t set up my tent though. I bring the gossamer gear thin-light out, the puffy under my head & sometimes the rain jacket over my face. Legs over the pack. Can’t be too long or else I don’t want to continue.

Nice to see Matt on the podcast!

Please give Ben a lesson on using a microphone. I'm not being a jerk...I'm being honest.

I've heard a few people bring up the issue of breathing in microplastics when using synthetic buffs over the face. It's an interesting point.

Very entertaining!

@matty driving the bus right over Devon! Love it! lol

Matty is awesome, maybe taking kids out will turn him into more of ground dweller.

Hearing all your pack weights makes me feel like a noob with my 40 lbs

Fun episode 😃 Hoping it triples your Patreon memberships!

wait…what the heck?? i’ve run into Duzer around Boulder on 3 separate occasions over the years and each time he’s offered me a Snickers🤔

Ha ha,,funny

I for one am glad we learn and change. Leaded gas worked really well too, but we learned, and we moved on.

I've done my own mountain safety research, and those don't seem safe. Tossing your son like he's a marmot and you're big agnes, off the north face of the Alps while mountaineering, might leave him lost like Nemo. I mean, eureka, hitting him with that pack will give him some more Zs. Then dragging him from summit to sea takes some serious mountain hardware!

I don’t know why but I was hoping for some serious pranks I could carry out on trail

Prayers from New Hampshire for our missing show host.

Someone's Dad got podcast equipment 😂

My buddy likes to make owl sounds right before we go to bed to call the owls in to our campsite at night.

Sooo, you are going to get wet when it rains, so that the factory workers don't get mega cancer? Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Im confused about the pfas thing and tents. From my understanding of modern tent fabrics, at least with mainstream and cottage brands, is that they dont use a dwr for waterproofing so the pfas thing doesnt apply to them. They use a woven fabric with a PU or PE coating for waterproofing which will never need a dwr recoating because it never had one to begin with. So high quality tents shouldnt be affected by this change at all. This change will mostly impact gore-tex style waterproof clothing which has been on the decline for decades since we discovered that the original gore-tex recipe was toxic because of the pfas in it. I switched to silpoly rain gear with mechanical ventilation for this reason.

The intro made me laugh out loud

Oh, I must find some of those bigfoot feet... I think I've seen similar as kids snowshoes.

Twisted. Bigfoot was my favorite.

The Doritos trail has a nice ring to it.

Snickers Bar was an Energy Bar before there was any Energy Bars 😁

Another good one with your kids is to get chocolate covered raisins or cookie dough bites and poor them in a pile in camp and then point out the deer poop and pick one up and eat it 🤣.

First off…does Ben have a pitch deck for investors in his BFAS tent reselling business? Also, I’m a good Coyote if Ben needs someone to move some product from AZ into CA. I also appreciate the inside information. I just bought all the Dyneema available so you’ll have to go through me to get something Waterproof, BFAS free and lighter than a fast packers ego.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This guy is so funny

Haha this is so funn.....or is it???

Dude I’m not into this scene at all, but I was all for it till the big ass bottle of oil came out 😭🤣🤣

Cool glad he's doing better

Only bring the light olive oil forcweight savings though and be sure to cold soak your M&Ms in your pockets so they are ready at camp…

I put all 3 in a blender then consume that from a hydration bladder.

I like bringing bananas cuz you dont have to pack out the wrappers,,,,, number 2 on my list is "uncrustables" frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that are individually wrapped but you have to eat them early cuz they thaw out obviously,,,, my number 3 goto food is chocolate covered granola bars.

Eating is such a waste of time when your eyes can absorb all the energy you need. The Native Americans have been doing it for centuries It’s called “Sun-Eating” They stand barefoot on rock and stare at the sun at dusk and dawn, the rods and cones in their eyes work as solar arrays transferring energy directly into their bodies They can go days or weeks without actually eating anything NASA did a study on Sun-Eating and verified it to be true Prove me wrong I’m not making it up Seriously

I’ve always wanted to make a video like this to mock the “Everything you do is wrong” TH-camrs. Well played

At first I thought this guy was just messing with me. And then I realized he is definitely messing with me.

Forget water, castor oil will provide both hydration and calories 😂

We had 80lbs in Afghanistan routinely, carrying fallen brothers in a tarp down a mountain between 4 guys. Training, training, training. If it aint raining, we ain't training. Shout out to all my fellow backpacker veterans out there. Stay free brothers.

Dude! Carl! Thank you! Now I know why I am currently hungry. I haven’t had an energy sausage in a month. Time to make the hunger flee!

Love the hydration benefit of oil too. Ultra lite backpacking at its finest

Mr. Combs…please explain to the jury why you have 1000 bottles of oil. Combs: because it has the highest caloric density than any other food and I don’t want people going hungry at my party.

Olive Oil Sport!

My life: changed

Water is such a waste anyway. I carried six pounds on my last trip and got no carbs, fats, or protein out of it all. I'm excited to see how well the oil goes with the electrolyte mix I use!

1 gram of Uranium has 20 billion calories. Just sayin'...

You had me at “sausage” 🌭

If you bring 3lbs of M&M's you would have plenty of trail buddies.

mmmmmm energy sausage

😂 I got a shout out! I’m going to be honest…I usually don’t listen to the trivia because it’s not my favorite part but because of the topic I listened through this time and I’m glad I did because I would have missed my joke going viral 😂.
