Ice Planet Barbarians & Other Outdoor Emergencies

Gear Abby: An Outdoor Advice Column For Your Ears

This week on Gear Abby, Shawnté and Colin tackle some truly important outdoor questions:

Why does the PCT seem to have a norovirus outbreak every year? Should beginner climbers always wear helmets outside? And if you were abducted by the Ice Planet Barbarians and taken to their frozen world, what three pieces of gear would you bring?

Along the way, they discuss AI-generated Ansel Adams prints, shirtless climbers, trail hygiene, college outdoor clubs, and why hand sanitizer isn't enough when norovirus comes calling.

As always, there are no dumb questions... just smart advice.
