#129 | The Most Fun Hiker on the PCT with Tristen Steele

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.

#126 | How the Hell did we make our Pacific Crest Trail Vlogs? with Luke McKay

AT thru hiker Luke McKay edited my Pacific Crest Trail videos this summer, and he joins the show to talk about how the hell we pulled it off, plus we talk a lot about the Appalachian Trail, embarrassing moments on trail, and much more. We recorded this episode in September, before I had re-started the show, so this was actually the first episode I had done since August of 2021.
