Paul McTaggart is a family man and backpacker out of New Zealand who in recent years reignited his passion for the outdoors. He and I have been exchanging emails back and forth for some time now and I thought it was time we sit down for a real and open-ended conversation about backpacking.

This is the very first episode of the By Land Podcast where I bring you the audience member, and in this case Paul, on the show for a conversation for no other reason than to get to know one another. I consider all of you guys a friend so I figure why not start to get to know you?

This episode with Paul is incredible and he lays out an amazing framework for how he plans for his backpacking trips. We talk about his background and younger years, his time spent hiking to Annapurna Base Camp, and getting to know backpacking again after years away. Finally, we cover why it’s so important to do what’s right for you and your situation in the backcountry (aka the ultra-right backpacking reference).

I absolutely loved this conversation with Paul and cannot wait to bring more audience members on the show to get to know them, and their stories, and glean what I can from their experiences so we can all learn together.

Here’s a link to Paul's amazing article and planning process. Click HERE.
