Justin’s Expertise

I’ve been on a trip with this guy, and he is as knowledgeable off the cuff & in-person as he is in this podcast. He’s also a great guy who’s quick to appreciate humor and who helps those he’s backpacking with to more fully appreciate everything outdoors!

I’m already love this new podcast! Thank you for bringing the details.

As a long time but newbie backpacker, I love learning and getting better every day. This podcast goes into details of you want them but also gives the overview if that’s all your looking for.
Trail lover!

Backpacking & Blisters

Justin is the best! Very knowledgeable, informative and a fun personality! I’ve bought gear based upon his recommendations and I am happy with it.
Thank you for effort

Gearing up

Understanding more about my gear and gear options is interesting to me and this podcast dives deeper into the materials and design and gives us access to experts we would not normally get. Thanks Justin. I hope this goes really well for you and us!

Great Advice

This is an official Canadian dude who walks the walk and gets outdoors and uses the gear he suggests. I’ve bought several items suggested by Justin on his YouTube videos and every suggestion has been a winner. I’m going to zip up the Polar Ranger, boil some water in my Toaks 2L with bail handle, slide on my Naturhike down pants and put on my discontinued Wrigley Hat and give these a listen. This cat knows his outdoor stuff.
