In October 2012, an experienced hiker vanished amid an early-season snowstorm near California's remote Taboose Pass. Despite extensive search efforts hindered by brutal terrain, freezing temperatures, and blinding whiteouts, rescuers found no trace. Months later, melting snow exposed startling clues, raising even deeper questions about what truly occurred near the alpine summit. With clear evidence of frantic emergency calls and an abandoned tent, the mystery deepens: Was it hypothermia, altitude sickness, or something more sinister? Join us as we explore the disappearance of Larry Conn in Kings Canyon National Park.Mark your calendars! We have a special multi hour live stream coming up on the evening of 4/23/25.

Many of us find our love for the outdoors the same way – with a hike. A short jaunt into the woods that brings us in touch with nature. But soon, short hikes just won't do. There're too many people. Too many screaming kids. Too much car traffic.So, the only logical next step is to take longer hikes. 2 miles turns into 5 miles, turns into 10 miles. The peaceful solitude of the woods, the rewarding views from a summit and the sense of accomplishment after completing a trail all contribute to a growing desire to spend even more time immersed in nature.As that passion grows, the idea of longer backpacking trips becomes more appealing. The ability to stay in the wilderness overnight offers a deeper connection to the outdoors.Gone are the easy hikes. Now you're planning multi-day journeys that require you to learn additional skills. You learn how to read maps. You develop a sleeping system. You figure out how to poop outside. Soon, you're watching ultralight gear videos on YouTube and drooling over maps of the Appalachian Trail. All of your clothes are hiking clothes and full transformation to granola gang is complete. For some, the progression from day hiker to backpacker is a natural one. But for many, myself included, it can be intimidating. Going from hiking around a lake to hiking for several days is a difficult hurdle – mentally and physically. But where do I start? What gear do I need? What hikes should I try? How can I go from a day hiker to a backpacker safely? Well since I'm still a backpacking noob, I decided to talk to the person that was once in my hiking shoes. On this episode, I speak with Tory Mather. Tory is the voice behind the My Trails Are Many blog and @ToryTalksTrails accounts on social media.

On September 19, 2008, Ronald Scott Gray, a seasoned 62-year-old retired Marine and Massachusetts State Police captain, vanished during an elk hunt in Idaho's rugged Selway-Bitterroot wilderness. Despite extensive survival training, he disappeared without a trace. His backpack, found near Highline Lake, provided no definitive clues. Unusual behavior noted by companions hinted at possible disorientation or psychological factors. Harsh weather and challenging terrain complicated the intensive search. His mysterious disappearance remains unsolved, highlighting how even the most experienced outdoorsman can become lost in vast, unforgiving wilderness. Note: Mike is recovering from a serious illness and had some issues with his voice this episode. We apologize for the listening inconvenience and hope for his speedy recovery by next episode!

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with our show producer and returning guest, Mico, to dive into the art of backpacking and long-distance trekking. Last time, we focused on the best trails in the Canadian Rockies — but today, we're talking about everything else that makes a backpacking trip successful. From choosing the right gear to packing light and learning from years of trial and error, this conversation is full of practical tips and personal stories. We also share some of our own packing mistakes and talk about the importance of finding a system that works for you — whether that's planning gear parties with friends or embracing the simplicity of cold soaking your meals. If you're new to backpacking or looking to lighten your load on the trail, this episode is packed with advice to help you get started. About Us
