Episode Summary: In this special Part 2 of our “Fireside Chats” on Yeti Walks Into Basecamp, we talk
about Cuppa’s absolute obsession (possibly a fetish?) for Peak Refuel meals, throwing up out of both ends, who’s feet smell most foul, cuddling with a gorilla, the sky rolling black with midges, why Jedi’s stomach is quite possibly bottomless, and why hiking with Cuppa is only for the privileged. We love these guys and hope you will too. Tune in to E35 Part 1 if you haven’t already.

Topics: PCT, Kennedy Meadows South, loss on trail, forever-forged friendships, friendships, Peak Refuel, meetings, continuous footpath, stinky feet, hygiene
