It's been awhile since our last COVID lockdown livestream, so it was time to fire up the stream and talk to the audience. With COVID still being around, and Russia invading Ukraine, we thought it would be best to touch base with our audience, pour ourselves a drink, and have a good time.  

Andy mixes up some old fashioned's, and we discuss our upcoming backpacking plans, hikes we would like to do, the current COVID situation, and if world war three just began?  Pop open your favorite livestream and join us!
