Zach Hiked the Weminuchoo Choo Loop (and His Biggest Backpacking Blunder Yet)

In today’s episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, Zach takes on the role of guest. This episode recaps his recent hike through the Weminuche Wilderness, a 40-mile loop he’s coined the "Weminuchoo Choo Loop." It’s bound to catch on. Zach gives a full overview of the hike, covering the distance, elevation gain, alternate route options, trail highlights, wildlife, and more. He also shares a story about perhaps his biggest backcountry blunder to date-an expensive mistake, and one he had the distinct pleasure of having a witness for. Additionally, Zach discusses some new gear he tested on this trip, including a piece that will forever change his water retrieval system.
The episode wraps up with sun protection tips for the backcountry, the triple crown of the easiest items to forget to pack for a backpacking trip, whether it’s acceptable to put ketchup on a hot dog, and a listener’s valuable tips about backpacking Patagonia’s O-Circuit.

Would be great if you can invite Masochist as a next guest. He is walking the ADT and going to be in Denver in a week or two.

The reason that Apple is changing to USB-C is because they made a law to reduce electronical waste. When every new gadget and phone ships with an charging cord it creates a lot of trash. Best case scenario people can use the same charger for all devices and not have to own multiple of different kinds. Its better for all ultimately ✌🏻.
