Obstacles on the Trail

We’re four friends who discovered backpacking together and want to share our knowledge and experience with you. We’re talking all aspects of the outdoors. From simple topics like trail snacks to planning a trip to Mt. Everest. Whether you’re mapping out your first trip or you’ve been through hiking for years. The Trail Theory podcast has something for anyone seeking adventure. Not only will we be recording in our studio, but we’ll also be taking our listeners with us and recording from the trail. Join us as we laugh at our mistakes, and celebrate our successes. See you on the trail.
