Trail Tales - Thru-Hiking & Backpacking
What’s it like to hike and live in the backcountry for 5 months? Host and thru-hiker & YouTuber Kyle Hates Hiking (Kyle O’Grady), who has completed every last step of the Appalachian Trail, interviews other thru-hikers, peak-baggers, and backpackers who are almost as crazy as him. Is life while thru-hiking really as glamorous as the social media stars make it out to be? Is pooping in the woods really that big of a deal? Find out these answers and more on Trail Tales.

Jay Morrison, aka ADK Woods Walker joins the show this week. Jay's channel is one of my personal favorites, due to his positive attitude, relatability and of course... his love for the Adirondacks! Be sure to listen until the end of the episode, because Jay tells a hilarious story of the time he caught changing at a campsite, and was recognized by the person from his YouTube channel in the process.

Thru Hiker and backpacking YouTuber Frozen joins the show, for the second time! This time we discuss his hike of the Foothills Trail (and lets be honest, mine as well), some of the random hikes in the PA area that he has done, and much more! Frozen's channel is a favorite of mine, I really appreciate his attitude and the style of his content and it was a pleasure to have him back on the show a second time.

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.
