About this listen

 Join us, Wesley "Yeti Legs" and Marie "Basecamp" Black on the YETI WALKS INTO BASECAMP: Talking. Thru. Hiking. Podcast, where we discuss all things in the wonderful world of hiking. Each episode will cover various hiking topics, the 181 days we spent on the PCT, interviews with fellow hikers/trail angels, or even chats with gear junkies. We are a married couple who love hiking and ultra running. In 2022, we sold everything to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Since then, we've hiked even more long trails. Welcome!Wesley "Yeti Legs" and Marie "Basecamp" Black

    E89 | How Hikers & Gear Brands Are Taking The Fight To Climate Change | An Environmental Corner Episode
    Apr 27 2026
    Episode Summary: The bad really makes you appreciate the good. That's why we wanted to wrap up with the "bad" in our Nation's fight against climate change using a healthy dose of good. We discuss a few things our Country is doing to try and roll back progress against fighting climate change, but then what fellow hikers and a few hiking brands are doing to keep on bringing the fight. You don't have to take a monumental step to make some solid change. Even picking up a single piece of trash can do a world of good, whether you know it or not.We wrap with a bit of Q&A about climate change from our lead editor Charlotte.A huge thanks to Megaman, RecPak, Sawyer, Ken Posner, and our anonymous hiker for taking the time to share what they are doing to make the world and hiking community a better place!!Links/Sources:⁠Understanding the Arctic polar vortex | NOAA Climate.gov⁠⁠Remote town of Stehekin left staggering by floodwaters | The Seattle Times⁠⁠Melting Ocean Ice Affects Sea Level – Unlike Ice Cubes in a Glass – NASA Sea Level Change Portal⁠⁠climate - Why don't green house gases escape into space? - Earth Science Stack Exchange⁠⁠Desalination technologies and their environmental impacts: A review - ScienceDirect⁠⁠Hasn't Earth warmed and cooled naturally throughout history? | NOAA Climate.gov⁠⁠The US Has Officially Left the Paris Agreement | Earth.Org⁠⁠Temperatures Rising: NASA Confirms 2024 Warmest Year on Record - NASA⁠⁠IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change⁠⁠WMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial level⁠⁠One Year of Trump: How the US Reversed Climate Progress⁠⁠Federal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESA" | SEJ⁠⁠Federal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESA⁠⁠Federal Court Strikes Down President Trump’s Attacks Against Endangered Species Act, Restores Bedrock Environmental Law to Pre-Trump Status - Earthjustice⁠⁠Largest wildfire in Nebraska history now nearly 100% contained | Nebraska Public Media⁠⁠Only 50 of these whales are left in existence.

    E87 | Hikers & Climate Change | Is Redlining Done For? Water? | An Environmental Corner Episode
    Apr 13 2026
    Climate change is a buzz word, but how does and could it affect a hiker's trek? Truth be told, there are a lot of ways. In this episode Yeti sits down with Charlotte Royal (lead editor for the podcast) and covers a recap of global warming, who says things are heating up, and how this can all affect the trails and hikes that we love so much. We cover a LOT of ground in this one, so buckle up and put on your thinking caps.Links/Sources:Understanding the Arctic polar vortex | NOAA Climate.govRemote town of Stehekin left staggering by floodwaters | The Seattle TimesMelting Ocean Ice Affects Sea Level – Unlike Ice Cubes in a Glass – NASA Sea Level Change Portalclimate - Why don't green house gases escape into space? - Earth Science Stack ExchangeDesalination technologies and their environmental impacts: A review - ScienceDirectHasn't Earth warmed and cooled naturally throughout history? | NOAA Climate.govThe US Has Officially Left the Paris Agreement | Earth.OrgTemperatures Rising: NASA Confirms 2024 Warmest Year on Record - NASAIPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ChangeWMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial levelOne Year of Trump: How the US Reversed Climate ProgressFederal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESA" | SEJFederal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESAFederal Court Strikes Down President Trump’s Attacks Against Endangered Species Act, Restores Bedrock Environmental Law to Pre-Trump Status - EarthjusticeLargest wildfire in Nebraska history now nearly 100% contained | Nebraska Public MediaOnly 50 of these whales are left in existence.
