This is a thought provoking interview about bikepacking racing etiquette and preparation with Kait Boyle, the co-founder and Education Director for Bikepacking Routes.  She returns to answer more Leave No Trace (LNT) questions from listener-generated questions.  We dive into the summer's events surrounding the large number of SAR rescues on the Tour Divide 2022, how to apply Leave No Trace to "front country" communities/interactions, and what it means to be prepared in the backcountry on a bike for all conditions.  Kait also shares some parting LNT advice on pooping and water at the very end!  
Bikepacking Roots has worked with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics to create the Ride Where You Love Campaign - an effort to build responsible principles for backcountry cyclists.  You can listen to our previous interviews with Kait about the Love Where Your Ride Campaign below. This episode was originally recorded in June 2022
