Is anybody watching this reality show/adventure race? It’s pretty good. There are 8 team pairs, one being a father and son using the lightest gear it seems, HMG packs and maybe a DCF tarp.

I saw the trailer. Looks a bit contrived but that’s better than some of the fake stuff out there (pretending to be real but really just acted out and pre scripted).

I’m into it.

First was made aware of the show from the Enlightened Equipment IG post from March 20 where they announced they provided jackets and quilts to the father/son team. That piqued my interest.

It appears each team selects their own gear (no tents allowed) because there is a variety of approaches on display. The heavyweights naturally seem to be slower so far.

Yep. The couple carrying the heaviest packs had the issue on day 1, ending their participation.
