Exoskeletons in the Wilderness

This podcast dives deep into the rise of exoskeletons in the backcountry—wearable robotic systems designed to help hikers, rescue teams, and explorers move farther, faster, and safer in rugged terrain.  Exoskeletons can transform wilderness travel by reducing fatigue, protecting joints, and opening the outdoors to those once limited by injury, age, or physical strain.But with innovation comes controversy. Does using exoskeletons in nature challenge the spirit of self-reliance that defines wilderness travel? Could technology erode the purity of the backcountry experience—or make it more inclusive than ever before? This episode reveals the opportunities and dilemmas of merging machine precision with human adventure.
