By Land Podcast
This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

#73 - Let's Talk Kid Carriers with Deuter
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Deuter kid carriers are some of the most acclaimed carriers out on the market today. After researching which pack I should use to haul my little girl around, the reviews and feedback always returned to those offered by Deuter.
In this episode, we chat with Liz Esche of Deuter, who walks us through the new 2019 lineup of kid carriers. As a new father looking for help on what to look for in a kid carrier, I run through a laundry list of questions with Liz and learned several new things along the way. We cover the new updates to the lineup, standard features, model differences, and the amazing Deuter Warranty.
