#129 | The Most Fun Hiker on the PCT with Tristen Steele
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Tristen Steele thru hiked all over the country this year, completing large sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Oregon Coast Trail, as well as a yo-yo hike of the Ouachita Trail. This is all impressive as it is, but even more so since he is only 18 years old! And of course... he's a huge goofball, in the best way possible.

#106 | The Bizarre World of Backpacking YouTubers with the Schill Brothers
Tuesday Mar 02, 2021
Tuesday Mar 02, 2021
The Schill Brothers are one of my favorite backpacking YouTube channels because they like to goof around and talk smack almost as much as I do. We didn't really have a plan for this episode, I figured we could just start yappin' away and have no trouble going for an hour... turns out I was right! We talk about the weird quirks of the backpacking YouTube world, sponsorships, and they tell a funny story at the end about an unnecessary search-and-rescue call.

#86 | Hiking the Vermont Long Trail as a first Thru Hike
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
My good friend Kayla joins the show this week to talk all about her FIRST THRU HIKE EVER in which she completed MY FAVORITE TRAIL EVER i.e the Vermont Long Trail! The Long Trail is tough, and hiking it in a group of 4 is even tougher, so I think it's awesome that she was able to crush it! We talk about group hiking, some of her favorite spots on the trail, and at the end of the episode she shares a story of a bear encounter in the Adirondacks.

In 2018, Kristian Morgan supported Karl Sabbe in his successful attempt to set the Fastest Known Time for the Appalachian Trail.

Tuesday Jan 21, 2020
Tuesday Jan 21, 2020
In 2019, David 'Seventy' Braunlich set out to thru hike the Appalachian Trail in an ambitious time period of seventy days. He was SO close to completing that goal, but as we discuss in the episode... his body had some other plans. Beyond the Appalachian Trail, David also has completed the Colorado Trail, a good portion of the Arizona, and many ultra marathons. We talk about all of this, and much more!
