Could we survive a three-day backpacking adventure without destroying our feet—or each other? 😅

In episode 474 of the Mandarin Monkey Podcast, we chat in Mandarin and English about our upcoming Isle of Wight hiking and camping trip. We discuss what to pack, walking for hours every day, camping food, uncomfortable sleeping mats, blisters, hiking shoes, carrying too much equipment—and Tom’s collection of unnecessary survival gadgets.

We also talk about:

🏢 Working remotely vs having a physical Mandarin Monkey office

👩‍💼 Whether Ula was born to be a boss

👨‍🏫 What makes someone a great Mandarin teacher

💼 Hiring people based on attitude, not just experience

📱 The difficulty of separating work from personal life

🥾 Preparing for our first proper backpacking adventure

⛺ Camping gear, food, shoes and surviving sore feet


Have you ever been backpacking? Tell us what we should pack to make the trip easier and more comfortable!
