Description

Baker is back and in this episode we talk (and disagree) about some of the most OVERRATED types of backpacking gear on the market. At the end of the day everyone is going to have different opinions on what backpacking gear is worth taking, but hopefully this discussion between two thru hikers can help guide your own opinion. What do you think is 'cooler', hammocks or fanny packs?!
