Episode Summary: In this episode of “Yeti Walks Into Basecamp” we take some time with Rebecca “Gandalf” Booroojian from CNOC and discuss the thru-hiking legend, the Vecto, but also something less well-known, the Vessica. We get into some science about plastics, what conventional water bottles may have in them, and what you need to be mindful of. We wrap up the episode with some of the gear we use, and some water filter testimonies from hiker friends we met on the PCT. Oh, and DISCOUNT CODES!
