Episode 80 Exo Mountain Gear Death Hike RECAP - a podcast by Emory R. Wanger

from 2019-06-16T07:00

:: ::

This episode recaps my experience on the Exo Death Hike in 2019. At the time of its release, it’s been one week since these events occurred so it was important for me to capture my thoughts and get them down into an episode for others to learn from.

This is a solo show, meaning it’s only me on this time. In it I cover what the Death Hike is, how it works, what it entailed this year, and most importantly, what I learned from it. This hike is meant to push your limits and it did just that. There were a number of things that happened to my body that I think are worth talking about in hopes that others can learn from my experiences.

This podcast was created to help people backpack better. Sometimes we do well, sometimes we don’t. What matters is that we continue to learn and share that knowledge with those around us.
