19/03/2026 | 47 min
Why do you actually need a bear canister in the Sierra? Shawnté breaks down the wild (and very human-caused) history behind food-conditioned bears and why proper storage matters more than ever.
Then: what do you do when a climbing gym regular crosses the line from annoying to straight-up creepy? Gear Abby delivers a no-BS guide to shutting it down and standing your ground.
Plus, what’s in Shawnté’s pack? A deep dive into the ultra-hyped Norda 002 trail shoes! Are they really worth the price, or just another expensive flex?

Natural Selection on the Trail, Camino Boot Failures & Should You Crash a Trade Show?
19/02/2026 | 42 min
Should we rip down the railings in national parks and let natural selection take over? This week on Gear Abby, Shawnté tackles a heated question about safety features on public lands and debates where personal responsibility ends and park management begins.
Then, a Camino hopeful writes in with a blister crisis after breaking in new boots. Shawnté dives deep into fit, heel locks, insoles, trail runners vs. boots, and yes… a little strategic lubrication.
Finally, a retail worker wonders if attending the outdoor industry trade show, Switchback, on their own dime is worth it. Is it career growth, industry networking magic or just crashing the party?
Risk management, foot management, and trade show strategy... only on Gear Abby!
