#111 | How do Thru Hiking Movies compare to Reality? With Rose Turner
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
In this episode, Trail Tales editor and badass hiker Rose "Comics" Turner is back on the show, this time to discuss thru-hiking movies! We talk about the movies "A Walk in the Woods", "Wild", and a few more. I have not seen any of these movies, but Rose has, and I make some assumptions about them as we compare the way they portray thru hiking to the reality of thru hiking.

Trevor Laher passed away while attempting a thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in March of 2020. Despite the tragic circumstances, his father Doug Laher has made it his mission to educate other hikers of the PCT and beyond about how the accident could have been prevented. Doug joins me in this episode to talk about Trevor's legacy, the accident, and what we can all learn from it.

#78 | A Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hiker Shares it All with Ryan Stratton
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Ryan Stratton hiked the PCT in 2018 and also happens to be a member of the same fraternity as me. In this episode I ask him a bunch of questions about West Coast thru hiking that make me nervous to venture out there... most of you probably know what half those things already are at this point. Also, sorry I was so tired for this one.

#53 | IBTAT on Thru-Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Having just finished thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, IBTAT joins the show a second time to talk all things PCT. We talk about the crazy winter weather he had to deal with at the end of his thru hike, how finishing the Pacific Crest Trail compared to finishing the Appalachian Trail, and much more. Completing back-to-back thru hikes is an incredible feat; the fact that IBTAT made two cross country walks in two years blows my mind. Tune in to hear about the Pacific Crest Trail, thru hiking, and more!

Emory Wanger, who hosts the Byland Podcast, joins the show this week to talk about thru hiking the PCT, backpack-hunting, and of course... podcasting! We jumped all around in this one, and it was almost therapeutic for me to discuss the behind the scenes details of starting and maintaining a podcast within the hiking/backpacking/thru hiking world that we both exist in. Of course, it was also great to hear about thru-hiking the PCT, and everything else Emory had to say! If you like Trail Tales, you will for sure like Byland, so go check it out at https://byland.co/podcast
