#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.

#92 | A 2020 Appalachian Trail thru hiker answers TOUGH questions about Covid with Rune Ravn

It's no secret that thru hiking in 2020 is a very controversial topic. I usually try to stay out of controversial issues, but due to a number of listeners who reached out to me (and my own curiosity) I finally cracked... I present to you, and interview with Rune Ravn, a 2020 Appalachian Trail thru hiker. I ask Rune to tell his story, and ask him a number of tough questions about covid and the ethics of hiking during the pandemic. I believe it's very important to hear all sides of the story, so I hope you will listen with an open mind. Check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/JustAboveU
