Gear Abby: An Outdoor Advice Column for Your Ears

I’m the host of Gear Abby, an award-winning podcast where co-host Colin True (Rock Fight) and I answer listeners’ burning questions about outdoor people, places, products, and pastimes.

Episodes have tackled questions about solo hiking, climbing gym creeps, chafing, pooping outside, national park plane crashes, outdoor breakups, going ultralight, mountain running, outdoor ethics, fanny packs, spider mating habits, FKTs, GPS watches, spooky outdoor lore, public lands, and gettin’ freaky in the forest, among other scintillating topics. Past guests include such outdoor luminaries as Kílian Jornet, Heather Hansman, Jeff “Legend” Garmire, Dr. Sports Bra, Katie Burrell, Latasha Dunston. Plus, you get to some of the best banter in the business, if we do say so ourselves!
