048 - Start backpacking and pack light with Greg Rodgers
Exciting news this week! It’s our first podcasting birthday and we have competitions starting today! In fact we already have two winners: A Hutton and Josh H. They have each won a copy of the Bed Bug Travel Guide from Bed Bug Central! We’ll be getting in touch with you both soon.
This week we talk to Greg Rodgers of Start Backpacking and Vagabonding Begins, one of BootsnAll’s top travel blogs.
Greg and Craig talk about his discontent with life in a cubical and how he started dreaming and planning his current “vagabonding” lifestyle: breaking the spending habits and re-aligning your life towards travel. Using first hand experience they outline several tenets of packing light — let’s all brush over Greg arriving with a 25kg pack on his first trip!

Hey KyotoKat,
We’re looking forward to getting some new things up in the next few days. We’ll be back with a microphone on Wednesday!
We don’t have a gear list at present, but we’ll be talking about our walking gear in the coming weeks — everything including brands and models. We’ll publish a list for that and fill in the rest sometime later in the year, I guess.
Great to have you still with us!
