Summary
Gear Abby is back! This week, Shawnté and Colin dive into the unwritten rules of the outdoors. First up: what's the proper etiquette for skinny dipping at alpine lakes and hot springs and how do you avoid becoming that naked person? Then they explore whether Indigenous peoples climbed North America's highest peaks, how to respectfully visit culturally significant places, and why some sacred landscapes deserve a little more consideration from modern recreationists. Finally, they settle a classic trail debate: who actually has the right of way hikers, mountain bikers, horses, runners...or snakes? Along the way: a mysterious one-star review, marmots, vasculitis, trail stories from the Sierra, and enough butt cheek jokes to last at least until the next episode. Got a question? Naked or not, we'll take your email. Send it to [email protected]. Gear Abby is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.
