Episode 107 – RIP Backpacking Gear
Sunday, 1 November, 2026
In Episode 107, we are on the Appalachian Trail and in the backcountry of North Georgia at Cowrock Mountain. Our topic this evening comes from a recent Backpacker magazine article on gear that should simply REST IN PEACE. On the podcast, we discuss items including the alcohol stove, the self-inflating pad, the bear bag, and even the bandana if you can believe it! And we still carry some of these items in our packs. Some of this gear is classic and we've been hiking with it since the 70's. So tonight we sit around the campfire, record with an iPhone, and debate the present value of backpacking equipment that is supposedly RIP. Listen in and hear us out. Or voice your own opinion by dropping us a comment below. And by the way ... 3Dub is still bitter about the spork!
