Derek and Carl discuss trends related to backpacking and the outdoors that they will predict will soon die out. They, of course, completely disagree with each item on their counterpart's list. Carl challenges Derek about how trendy his ideas are in the first place. Derek doesn't believe half of Carl's ideas even exist as an issue. Also, why is Derek listening to another podcast about horoscopes?

Derek and Carl discuss "minor" adjustments that they've tried over the years that improved their outdoor adventures. The word "small" is in quotations because Carl's list involves items that are on the costly side while Derek's list involves two items that Carl challenges. In fact Carl claims that one of Derek's items is the worst answer he's ever given on the podcast while another of his items he's discussed at least 5 times. You be the judge.
