Devin presents material in a way that takes into account that not all hikers are young and pre-family. As an older (50) father of two it is refreshing to find backpacking content that recognizes the value of the outdoors in dose sizes that respect the family dynamic!

Just a great, straightforward podcast on backpacking. Great information, discussions and learning. No agendas here! Keep up the good work.

Great guests and topic choices. I’ve learned so much from every episode. I’ve actually changed some of my gear and trip planning habits based on information I learned from this podcast! Listening has made me a better backpacker.

Devin is very knowledgeable, entertaining, and makes the listener want to get out there. As someone who has done 20+ backpacking trips over the past few years, this podcast has so many interesting topics that can help improve my skills in the backcountry. I live in St. Louis and make out west a few weeks a year and this podcast makes me even more excited for my next trip. I made it out to Utah for the first time in January and it is truly one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been. Thanks, Devin!

I’m new to backpacking and I have learned so much from this podcast! Such great information and stories from passionate people. It’s certainly inspiring me to get out and explore more!

Backcountry Exposure by Devin is such a delightful and educational podcast. His great personality and unparalleled knowledge are a winning combination for beginners through experts. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. His superior knowledge and advice is informed through research and practice. It’s great being part of his experiences and more enjoyable listening to someone who really cares about helping people share his passion. Posted by Iceman

I’m new to backpacking and have been binge-listening to numerous backpacking / outdoor adventuring podcasts. I’d HIGHLY recommend The Backpacking Experience due to Devin’s podcast-friendly voice, professional-sounding music/production, expert guests, and (most importantly) interesting and unique content. Thanks to Devin for sharing his passion with others!

Thank you, Devin, for always bringing us new tools for the backpacking toolbox! Absolutely the most interesting, educational, and encouraging information from Sawyer, Travis, and his company’s shared vision for healthy hiking and life around our beautiful world.

Love the nuanced, trail-tested and personal insights on offer here. Thanks Devin!

Talks about some great topics and is very honest and passionate about backpacking. It’s a pleasure to listen to the show and I learn a lot from it!

Awesome content! Your podcast keep me motivated while I am at work. I usually hike 3 or 4 times a years while making it a extended weekend. I grew up in Northern California and actually live in Utah for 4 years but now live in Arkansas. I have a question and I hope this doesn’t create any negative feedback as I am curious to hear your opinion. During my small hikes and all the YouTube hiking channels I watch, one never sees minorities hiking. I ask this as I am a Native American (Maidu) and find it odd you don’t see a lot of minorities enjoying the hiking trails. If you don’t answer I totally understand as I am not sure I would tackle a question like this. Keep doing what you do and I also enjoy your YouTube channel. Hike on!!!!

The backpacking experience is excellent for all ranges of hikers. If your new to hiking or have thousands of miles under your feet, there are great conversations on this show. His YouTube channel is just as outstanding.

Love the podcast and your YouTube channel. Your content is great and you appeal to all ages. Like that you look for versatile views.

This is an excellent podcast. Devin has a lot of experience in the backcountry which clearly comes out in his conversations. He has some very interesting guests and topics. I have watched his YouTube channel for a couple of years, and as a relatively new backpacker has helped me immensely in learning techniques, strategies, and gear decisions. I would highly recommend this podcast, and look forward to much more

I have been a long time subscriber to Devin’s YouTube channel. This is a great extension to his videos and a great listen if your interested in the outdoors. He’s very knowledgeable and provides great information.

Devin has quickly established himself in the world of backpacking as both a knowledgable gear reviewer and all around advocate for the backpacking community. He really has a great ability to show perspective from all sides of backpacking from ultralight to the weekend warrior who wants to just get out there, crush some miles and have fun. Really entertaining stuff! Subscribed.

What a great podcast! I was so stoked to hear about Chris’s experience and relate to all things about my favorite place in Utah and the world. So funny about the cow poop water! Hahaha! Can’t wait for more. Hope we can keep the Unitas secret but shared. Woot!

The episode on what can go wrong, how to prevent it, and what to do when it does go wrong was a great opportunity to rethink preparedness in the wilderness. Thank you for opening up and sharing your experiences for the benefit of your audience. For the first time ever I am seriously looking at getting a PLB. It now feels like the responsible thing to do. Excellent job and thank you!! Mike Matheis aka “Scout’s Honor”

Such a great podcast! I highly recommend anyone, beginners or experts to listen, learn and just enjoy this podcast. The last 5 years or so I have relied on Devin for backpacking advice and gear. I’ve always been a hiker but never really a backpacker. Devin has made my experiences so much more enjoyable! Being in the backcountry with Devin, you see him thrive in his element! Listening to this podcast has gotten me so excited to get back out in the wilderness with Devin! Great stuff Dev!

I’m happy I found this podcast. Though it’s only a few months since it’s started, Devin is already doing a great job of not only presenting but also in the subjects. I love the balance between advice and guest recounting their trips. I’m looking forward to future episodes and topics!

If you are a backpacker of any level you will want to subscribe to this podcast. I stumbled across Devin’s, YouTube channel searching for backpacking gear reviews to feed my backpacking habit. Devin not only does gear reviews on YouTube, he does trip reviews as well. This podcast is completely different from his YouTube channel. I have listened to all episodes and they are absolutely wonderful. There is just something about his personality and presentation that is a true delight to listen to. Devin keep up the good work!!!!

I have listened to alot of outdoor podcasts and they all seem to lack one thing, Clear and concise information. Devin has acheived this In the podcast, it is super fun to listen to and I always take something away from every episode. I am definitely a big fan.

Came across this podcast when I was trying to find more information on backpacking. Super informative and interactive! Stoked to hear more.

I follow Devin on YouTube. Doing a great job!

This is a awesome podcast love the in-debt talk about everything hiking

I gave the first episode a go and knew from that point I would be hooked. Devin is a backpacker with a similar style that I have. I could listen and relate to a lot of what him and Jarod were saying. I was intrigued the whole time I listened. I give this podcast two thumbs up and can’t wait to hear more. So glad that he is on iTunes now as well! This podcast fits right in with Backpacker Radio, etc.

The only thing better than this podcast is the guy who hosts it, Devin Ashby. He does a fantastic job of story telling as well as sharing helpful and accurate knowledge about backpacking with the hiking community. You have to give The Backpacking Experience a listen!

Devin is an expert backpacker and puts together some of the best backpacking content out there. His YouTube channel is full of great tips, trip reports, and gear reviews. All of them are solid and thorough and highly recommended. I’m sure the podcast will be top notch like his videos, so I look forward to hearing more.

Love Devin’s perspective and he experience in the backcountry. I don’t ever write reviews for podcasts but had to when I listened to this podcast! Devin is the real deal.

Devin is so well versed in so many areas of outdoor recreation, I love his take on all things backcountry. He's easy to listen to and hot AF. 10/10 would recommend.

Devin does a greta job with this podcast bringing us all we need in the Outdoor Community!

This podcast is highly educational and Devin is always entertaining.

Well thought out and quality listening. Looking forward to new episodes.
