Today we learn how why you often have to choose between comfort at night or comfort during the day when it comes to backpacking.  

YOU DID IT!!!  But before we tackle ultra lite backpacking though, Kit chats with Sam about how, because of this podcast, she and her husband are now including adventure on their travels - all because she accidentally found ATA while looking for a podcast about Costa Rica because her husband wanted to go there to see butterflies.
