Join us, Wesley "Yeti Legs" and Marie "Basecamp" Black on the YETI WALKS INTO BASECAMP: Talking. Thru. Hiking. Podcast, where we discuss all things in the wonderful world of hiking. Each episode will cover various hiking topics, the 181 days we spent on the PCT, interviews with fellow hikers/trail angels, or even chats with gear junkies.
We are a married couple who love hiking and ultra running. In 2022, we sold everything to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Since then, we've hiked even more long trails. Welcome!

E58 | take less. do more. | with Glen Van Peski [Gossamer Gear Founder] | A Book Review
lundi 21 avril 2025 • Durée 01:53:34
Episode Summary: In this episode we talk through our first hiking-related book review of Glen Van Peski's work, take less. do more. SURPRISING LIFE LESSONS IN GENEROSITY, GRATITUDE, AND CURIOSITY FROM AN ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKER.
For almost 2 hours, we were lucky enough to have Glen on our show to cover a few of his anecdotes from the ultralight backpacking universe, but also some more introspective insights on life, having gratitude and giving to others, while also prioritizing the needs of our loved ones and ourselves. Glen has quite the tale to tell, including how to better stay connected to those you've met/think about often, his stunning wife, living a minimalist lifestyle, and his harrowing friend that saved Glen's life. We'd love to have him back for a part 2 to cover more of his ultralight hacks, but until then, here's enough content to wet your whistle!
Keywords: ultralight, backpacking, minimalism, book, book review

E44 | Nick "Desert Jesus" Fowler | A Nobody Who's Obsessed With The West | Fireside Chats
lundi 11 novembre 2024 • Durée 01:43:42
Episode Summary: Red urine, a dissolving toe, can’t squat to poo, drinking water from a trashcan hiking over 2000 miles in undies that end up buttless, 50+ mile days…persistence, determination, finisher, husband, and father. These are all words and phrases that describe Nick “DJ or Desert Jesus” Fowler, a man who’s a bit less man, and more athletic deity if you ask us. Nick sits down with us to cover just what it takes to FKT trails, push yourself beyond your limits, how to cope with regrets from trail, and impending fatherhood. Honestly, we will probably listen to this episode several times because we just love this guy. Cheers to you, Nick- a true man who's obsessed with the west, but definitely not a nobody.
Topics: Nick Fowler, FKT, PCT, father, beast, fastest

jeudi 31 octobre 2024 • Durée 30:15
Episode Summary: Halloween Bonus Episode release, because it's scary to hike with an injury, the thought of it taking you off trail is terrifying. Listen in.
In this subscriber episode of YWIB we sit down with Renee “Azul” Aldrich to cover hiking while married (and your spouse is NOT with you), but also hiking with a potentially hike-ending injury. How’s intimacy when you haven’t seen you spouse for weeks or months? What emotional hurdles do you have to overcome to keep waking up to hike each day when it may be your last? We only had Azul for a short episode because she had to hop back on trail (the CDT) but expect a full-length interview with her in the near future.
