Hiking Unfiltered

In this episode, Courtney talks to Grant "Detour" Breidenbach, of Bear Vault, about the challenges of bear safety. Should you hang your food? Should you carry a bear canister? How far away should it be from your camp? What the heck do I do if I actually have a bear encounter? They answer all these questions and more!

Grant Breidenbach is an outdoor enthusiast and wilderness ethics fanatic. He actively pursues the best of nature in all four seasons by backpacking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering.
