Sometimes it pays to listen to the OOA Show live. This week would be one of those weeks. For some unknown reason our podcast recording cut off after the first 10 minutes. A shame too as we were on a roll. We had a great show. So, we included the outline of stories we covered. Catch us LIVE at Slackwater Pizzeria on Fridays from 2:30 - 3:30ish. This coming Friday however, we're broadcasting live from Snowbasin.
Below is the first 10 minutes of Episode 173, Backpacking.
