It’s time for our monthly mailbag episode again, where we answer questions about national parks and other public lands, as well as gear, camping and a broad range of travel-related topics.

Some of the questions/topics we discuss in this episode:

What NPS sites turned out to be more than we expected

Whether or not you need a campsite reservation in Olympic NP in the summer

Have we been recognized by fans during our travels

In which parks did the cost to get there outweigh the experience

How many days does it take to see Congaree NP

What are some ways to visit the ocean parks

What has been our most difficult day hike

These questions and more on this episode of Mailbag!
