Summary
Will Roquemore goes by Last Strap on the trail — a name handed to him by a friend who instituted a rule that he was not allowed to partake in any extracurricular fun until his last strap was fastened, because otherwise he would never leave camp. It is a very accurate trail name. In Part 1, Doc and Last Strap cover the trail name origin, his year-round life in a 2016 Toyota Prius V wagon, the gear he carries (including a fanny pack that functions as a walk-in closet), and the Hiking Poll — where Last Strap scores a 31 on the sanity scale and has strong opinions about wind versus heat, cold soaking, and YouTube. Plus: how a fourth-generation Idahoan with a background in camping and fishing stumbled into backpacking after a late-night metal concert, an Idaho snowstorm, exploding fire rocks, a field full of cow pies, and a bass player named Chris who had a better plan than he did. Part 2 drops in 10 minutes.
