Hiking Mistakes: Our specialty
It you learn more from your failures, then Craig and I must be some kind of Hiking Mistake Experts. In this episode we’re sharing every single mistake we’ve ever made in the great outdoors in the hope that you can avoid them yourself.
We go into detail about mistakes made in our planning, training, packing, food choices, clothing, footwear, shelter, sleeping gear, electronic equipment and of course, safety. We haven’t held anything back in this huge episode!
Please Note: This was originally planned as our 2021 farewell episode but situations beyond out control meant that we couldn’t release it until now. Our apologies for any confusion.

Ron “Canoe” Drummond - HISTORICAL BADASS
I spent many years living in a coastal town and surfing every week, all year round as well as a few months in San Diego and a month in Fiji. More recently I’ve spent a lot of time on the water with my canoeing adventures. With all that said, I just cannot see the connection between the two sports.
