E436 – JP & Eric Do a Multi-Modal Canoe-Swingbike Adventure



JP and Eric, the Kings of Swing [bike], go canoeing, swingbiking, and bladepacking, and live to tell about it.  We get the scoop on how to take on nature’s greatest force using the minimal set of tools, and have a beer at some of the area’s best breweries like Walking Man, Amnesia & Thunder Island.  Also, who knew there was once a bookstore in Stevenson, WA that had beer on tap?

Also: Portland Roller Hockey

And a special shout-out this week to Jason Aufdenberg. You know why, Jason.

As always, thanks to our drink sponsor The Beer Mongers & our generous Patreon donors.
