144: Trail Mix - The Signs Were There

About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of ignoring warning signs in the wilderness and the importance of making informed choices.

A hard truth of heading out into the wild is that sometimes the biggest danger isn’t the weather, an animal or environment itself. The biggest danger can be our own choices and the decision not to heed clear warning signs. Support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!
