#126 | How the Hell did we make our Pacific Crest Trail Vlogs? with Luke McKay Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

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.

#125 | Hike all Night and SUFFER on the Pacific Crest Trail with Brandon Sopher Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Brandon Sopher and I met on the Pacific Crest Trail on the third day of my PCT thru hike attempt. We didn't know it at the time, but we would go on to experience some of the most fun, and most BRUTAL days of the trail together.

#122 | You Need to hike in Colorado ASAP with Baker Bokorney Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

Baker is back once again, and this time he GOES OFF on some of the insane Colorado hiking/backpacking adventures he has had. We also spend some time talking about our future PCT hikes (wink wink), and of course sprinkle plenty of jokes/nonsense throughout the episode.

#121 | Why would anyone bother to Thru Hike in Wisconsin? Let's learn about the Ice Age Trail with Lucas Smith Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

Lucas Smith has taken a, dare I say... untraditional route into the world of thru hiking. Rather than take on the Appalachian Trail or the PCT, Lucas has started his thru hiking journey by hiking the Buckeye Trail in Ohio, and the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. In this episode we mostly focus on the Ice Age Trail, so if you want to learn about a lesser-known trail that is still over 1,000 miles long, tune in!

#120 | My Worst Hiking Injury Ever plus Rose "Comics" Turner spills the beans about being an Appalachian Trail Shuttle Driver Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

In this two-part episode I start off by talking about the worst hiking injury I've ever experienced, which happened recently while backpacking the Cranberry Lake 50 in the Adirondacks. I talk about what went wrong, what we can do to learn from it... and how much it sucked. Here's a link to the video of my hike: https://youtu.be/ggwHwgPtF7w

In part 2, the wonderful Trail Tales editor and thru hiker Rose "Comics" Turner is back for a conversation about her experience as an Appalachian Trail shuttle driver, as well as some (rare) sketchy characters that have been on the AT this year.

#118 | Jonathan Zaherek SENDS IT in the Adirondacks during All Seasons Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

Jonathan Zaherek is back on the show to talk about getting sendy in the Adirondacks. Whether it's backcountry skiing, or trail running (even on the uphills) Jonathan never holds back as he continues his quest to basically be the biggest Adirondack Hiking Nerd of all time. A special thanks to Nick Groves for popping into the conversation for a few minutes to speak about his quest to hike every mountain in the Adirondack Park that has a trail to the summit.
