Fear, Friskiness & Filthy Backpacks



This week on Gear Abby, Shawnté celebrates hitting double digits with stories that prove adventure takes many forms. From near-death river crossings to, uh, 'creative' trail recreation.

Episode Highlights

  • Scariest Moments Outdoors: Shawnté relives a terrifying Sierra river crossing that dethroned her mountain lion encounter.
  • Hikers With Benefits: Advice for couples looking to, ahem, elevate their outdoor experiences—respectfully and comfortably.
  • Winter Thru-Hikes: Trails you can tackle after quitting your job (or before seasonal affective disorder hits).
  • Gear Care Corner: How, when, and why to wash your backpack—and why your washing machine is not invited.
