Loved it when it was actually about adventure and nature type stuff, but the need to insert politics and the flagrant over representation of individual sexuality is a bit much. Nobody cares

The app is great but the mail is still a bit more expensive and it crashes every time I try it out on my iPhone to get a new app

Thoroughly enjoy putting the headphones in, going for a hike or run and just letting the stories captivate me. Thanks for the great entertainment!

This is the episode that I have been waiting for. The connection I have with the environment when I’m hunting has never been matched when I’m just hiking.

Bravo Patagonia and Dirtbag Diaries for the story about hunting, an oft misunderstood culture from the persecutive of the non-hunting outdoor community. As someone who both hunts, and skis/rides mountain bikes etc. I appreciate this story being told on this forum. Kjell's gratitude really highlights the connection to the land and animals that can only be made by participating with them at this level. Great job, thank you.

Love the show- sometimes the music on top of voices is incredibly distracting. “The Elk” was really hard to listen to in the bits where intense music was playing. Great story, though!

So much Grace and spirit in these stories. So many lovely technically whimsical, achingly soulful…tales for us all. Told so beautifully.

I just wanna show about adventure. The constant droning on about politics is very exhausting.

What can I say I love freaking myself out when I’m inside my tent with these episodes downloaded to my iPhone and listening to them before bedtime. Keep them coming! I would contribute my own but the scariest thing that has ever happened to me was The perfect round circle of a furry bear butt pressing into The wall of my tent in the middle of the night. He/she left after clapping my hands, not so scary.

I just discovered the dirtbag diaries and absolutely enjoy it. Fitz is an awesome host and the topics and guests bring some much information and inspiration. My daughter loves listening to the show with me and we listen to one every night before bed.

Used to be better, becoming too SJWy. Better to stick to the adventure.

Great outdoor stories - connecting, inspiring, and encouraging!! Full value and fun!

This show has been my connection to the outdoor community for the past few years. I’m not sure who I’d be today without having this show. The pandemic was a struggle but the ideas and creativity this podcast invokes in me has made a difference. Thanks to you all for the well thought out, lighthearted, and inspiring episodes. I come away feeling like I have friends and family I never knew I had.

Memo to male host 8/26/22 ("Flip Trip"): no, "debacle" and "disaster" are not verbs. 😆

Con Ganas episode was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Dirtbag diaries was the first podcast to hook me on the concept of podcasts. Adventure and storytelling over a broad base of areas. Now just like all bought media outlets it’s turned activist/political. I have no time for this indoctrination and programming. Go Woke, Go Broke!

💗Love the episode about the weirdest place you’ve ever slept! So fun

I don’t think upsettingh y yy

Been here a while, glad y’all are going strong. Y’all have shared some amazing stories, experiences, and adventures. Thanks y’all! Please keep it up.

The intro still gets me stoked and sometimes the episodes are really exciting and uplifting, but these are increasingly less frequent and getting really sappy. The Dirtbag diaries are now less guided by their own voice but rather what they think people want to hear.

Been listening for so long now! I think since before tep was even born! Now he’s reading stuff on the podcast! It’s crazy! My favorite episode that sticks out to me is “fueled by strawberry jam”. Y’all keep the dream alive in me! Love love love the Year of big ideas! Keep it up! Love hearing real stories of all this stuff!

Love this podcast. The smokejumper podcast was one of the best I have ever heard!

This has always been a solid storytelling posdcast, but they recently made some changes that made it much, much better. The two co-hosts are a joy to listen to, and the stories are more produced (and produced well!). But what moved me to write a review was the “Sacred Spaces - Oak Flat” episode. I knew a little about this issue, and had even taken some small actions on it. This episode clued me in and took me so much deeper into the issue. Now I really want to visit this place, and I really want to help protect it. (I called my members of Congress right after the episode finished. I am grateful that they left us with some things we could do to help.) Thank you for making this show!!

I wish there was a show about the outdoors that wasn’t pushing a agenda. I expect a show about outdoor pursuits to have environmentalist and pro public lands views, that’s great. However, this show has more then that, and it get obnoxious pretty fast. It’s for arm chair adventurers, trust fund kids and internet activists. Honestly they will probably produce a entire show someday on how to best spend your REI dividend. Lastly, They also all seem to adopt this faux dopey accent. Its a way of talking I hear from many patigucci clad outdoor enthusiasts, what the heck is the deal with that? I hope someone produces a real dirt bag podcast, about adventures who do a lot with little. Who despite obvious disadvantages still steadfastly pursue outdoor endeavors. People with real personalities. This show isn’t it.

Been with this one from the beginning and hope it never ends. Get kinda bummed at the end of every episode knowing it’ll be a couple weeks till the next.

Feels too formal, polished and maybe even slightly pretentious and cheesy. Not my cup of tea. You would think something with the term “dirtbag” would be a little more gritty and down to earth, maybe even funny and mysterious, but every episode I’ve tried has been extremely dry, predictable, uninteresting and hard to listen to.

I love listening to this podcast. It helps connect me to the outdoors and reminds me of where I belong in this world. Thoughtfully produced wonderful stories.

Just not as diverse as I was looking for in WHO was telling their diary entries

Did

I’ve listened to every episode at least 3 times since 2012. I love this show. Amazing stories that are thoughtful and interesting.

Very interesting and awesome podcast!

I’m always excited to listen to this podcast. The F U wait episode is my favorite one yet!

Thanks guys!

Please Stick to outdoor adventure podcasts and Save the armchair social/political opinions for your living room. There’s enough of that elsewhere.

This podcast is really great for anyone who wants to hear about all the cool stuff going on around the outdoor community. There is a lot of good info and really cool stories shared.

You are

I began listening to this podcast in 2012 during grad school when I had long commutes to clinical rotations. At the time I had years of catching up to do. Now I anxiously await each new episode. But oftentimes find myself digging back into the archive for a relisten - “heeeeey bear” - or sharing with friends (I’ve sent Fun Divided by Three to so many folx). Love this podcast and can’t recommend enough!

I love listening to this podcast! It inspires me to challenge myself more!

Dirtbag Diaries still centers most of their stories on the white-male-conquering-nature narrative. It’s tired: mediocre white dudes painting themselves as the star in their own misadventures. But it’s also damaging, especially when it ignores more inclusive narratives, casts women as inferior/weak (oh god that kayaking 2-parter), and indigenous lands as places to bag or summit. (Again, that kayaking 2-parter was the most egregious example. The entitlement and privilege of those bros was nauseating.)

Good listening especially when your stuck indoors. Thank you to the Duct tape then beer crew for years of quality stories.

Overall a great podcast but I really look forward to the annual Tales of Terror episodes!

This podcast episode was absolutely fantastic! Totally heart-felt and inspiring. The Dirtbag Diaries always have amazing episodes but this one just seems to really hit home for me. Awesome job!

We are listening to old stories. This one from 2017 was one of your best! Thanks guys.❤️

Easily top 1 or 2 (tops) podcasts! The whole team basically invented the media platform, and brings great outdoors stories to your ears with flair and aplomb! Thanks Dirtbag Diaries, and the whole Duct tape then beer team!

This is my go to podcast when I don’t know what else to listen to (but need something I can rely on to be good)! I love the variety of subjects and variety of length. Happy subscriber!

This is by far my favorite podcast. As an aspiring dirtbag (who has to work a full time job in between dirtbagging), this show keeps me interested, inspired, and motivated.

Your show is great but your polarized view points are very repelling. Going to take a break from you. Do better by sticking to story telling.

Such great programming. This weeks two minute show was powerful. Thank you.

A very accurate recalling and reporting of their outdoor adventures. Wishing more good health to the men and women whose walk made us lazy, armchair but enthusiastic listeners focused once in awhile. Thank you!

The Dirtbag Diaries has been helping me stay sane and hopeful during this time of COVID 19, when most of us (myself included) can’t go to the wild places we love or adventure in our usual ways. Listening to this podcast is helping me stay connected to the outdoors and reflect on what I love about wilderness and adventuring. Huge appreciation to the DD team for putting together without fail this thoughtful, fun, creative, and inspiring collection of stories and information! I’m always eagerly anticipating the next episode.
