With Gear Abby you won't get an ounce of shame or gear snobbery. It's just unfiltered advice, honest conversations, and the occasional 'WTF' moment in the wild. Hosted by outdoor journalist and adventure junkie Shawnté Salabert, this show answers the real questions you’re too embarrassed to ask out loud. From weird gear issues and trip prep anxiety to calling out elitist nonsense in outdoor culture. Shawnté approaches your burning outdoor questions with that sort of loving big sister vibe. And if Shawnté doesn’t have the answer? She’ll drag in someone who does. Whether you hike, paddle, run, or just want to feel less weird in REI - Gear Abby’s your new outdoor bestie. Gear Abby. Because there are no dumb questions. Just smart advice. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155.md ## Episodes - [Flashback Friday: Gear Abby Confesses Her Biggest On Trail Sin (AKA The Wag Bag Incident)!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/flashback-friday-gear-abby-confesses-her-biggest-on-trail-sin-aka-the-wag-bag-incident) — 2026-07-04T09:00:00+00:00 - [Flashback Friday: Bougie Hikers & Dysentery Demons](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/flashback-friday-bougie-hikers-dysentery-demons) — 2026-06-27T09:00:00+00:00 - [Switchback New Orleans Reaction: Did The Show Work In Year 2? - Outdoor Unfiltered](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/switchback-new-orleans-reaction-did-the-show-work-in-year-2-outdoor-unfiltered) — 2026-06-22T09:00:00+00:00 - [Flashback Friday: How To Slay The Chafe Monster!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/flashback-friday-how-to-slay-the-chafe-monster) — 2026-06-19T09:00:00+00:00 - [Wild Didn't Ruin Thru-Hiking (You Did) Plus: What's In Your Pack?!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/wild-didn-t-ruin-thru-hiking-you-did-plus-what-s-in-your-pack) — 2026-06-12T09:00:00+00:00 - [Ice Planet Barbarians & Other Outdoor Emergencies](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/ice-planet-barbarians-other-outdoor-emergencies) — 2026-06-05T09:00:00+00:00 - [Goobies, Boobies & Bike Rides](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/goobies-boobies-bike-rides) — 2026-05-29T17:00:00+00:00 - [Dirty Underwear & Good Decisions](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/dirty-underwear-good-decisions) — 2026-05-22T09:00:00+00:00 - [Creepy Stairs In The Woods & Chicago Crime Scene Bear!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/creepy-stairs-in-the-woods-chicago-crime-scene-bear) — 2026-05-08T09:00:00+00:00 - [The Deadliest Parks, The Most Stubborn Hikers & Wearing A Rain Skirt!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/the-deadliest-parks-the-most-stubborn-hikers-wearing-a-rain-skirt) — 2026-05-01T09:00:00+00:00 - [GoPro Frenemies?
