EPISODE 40: HIKING NEWS REVIEW (GREAT SMOKIES SHOW)
So listen in, and we’ll brace ourselves for the feedback! ‘Cause we talk arson, kidnapping, self-defense, and about the political leadership of our country. And if that doesn’t make you smile (or cringe), click here for some photos from our Klondike hike and get a look at why we head in to the backcountry in the first place. |
EPISODE 39: HIKING NEWS REVIEW (GRAND CANYON SHOW)
In the show, Therm Rider and I recap and debate some of the U.S. news events that were heavily publicized in the outdoor community last year – including epic fails with drones, lost lives from selfies, and wildlife issues and encounters.

EPISODE 34: PACIFIC NORTHWEST TRAIL “A SENSE OF DIRECTION”
|
In my first international interview, we discuss backpacking in Nepal, hiking to base camp, life on the mountain, and how he managed to survive the avalanches and rock slides that took many lives over the last two climbing seasons. We also talk about his plans for the future – including where a 20 year old goes from here and how Mt. Everest still fits in to his future. |
EPISODE 32: BACKCOUNTRY 201 – ADVANCED ROOKIE MISTAKES
“Backcountry 201” is the second installment in this mini-series where we sit around the campfire and discuss the fundamentals of backpacking. In this episode, we go “off trail” a bit – so don’t take the show too seriously. We’ll get back on track in future episodes and hopefully this is worth a few good laughs as you commute to work, crank out some Trail miles, or do what you do when you are not on the Trail. |
EPISODE 31: GRANDMA GATEWOOD’S WALK
The book, Grandma Gatewood’s Walk is now a New York Times best seller, and Ben gives us a look at the life and legacy of Emma Gatewood through her photos and trail journals, from interviews with her surviving children, and by tracking down some of the folks that actually met and hiked with Emma on the Trail. |
EPISODE 30: CAMINO DE SANTIAGO
Starting in 1985, modern day hikers have increasingly followed the path – with over 200,000 “pilgrims” hiking the route each of the last few years. In the podcast, Squatch talks about his adventures on the ~518 mile trail and offers up some suggestions for prospective thru-hikers. |
Popeye and I met at Tray Mountain when he was only three days from the southern terminus and we discuss his life on the Trail as a SOBO hiker, the new rivalry between northbound and southbound hikers, and the events that led him to the emergency room on his last day on the Trail. |
EPISODE 28: THE BENTON MACKAYE TRAIL
Forewarning, we spend the majority of the podcast discussing their 20 day, ~290 mile hike on the Benton MacKaye Trail – a great alternative to the Appalachian Trail in the South – but there’s lots of great tips on backpacking and thru-hiking in general. |
In the podcast, Niki talks about her first ventures in to the outdoors, her hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and the event that changed her life – a 60′ fall that nearly ended her life (and made her an amputee). Niki is now a week in to her A.T. thru-hike and took time from a rest area in North Georgia to speak with us. |
In the show, Clint discusses the first draft of the screenplay, the trailer, and the upcoming plans to film the movie. He also give us some personal insight in to Bill Irwin and how he overcame alcohol and tobacco addiction through faith in God and by heeding the call to hike the A.T. |
EPISODE 25: FLIP FLOP FLIPPIN’
In the show, “Squatch” talks about his first ventures in to the wilderness, some of the thru-hikers and trail angels that he met on the A.T., and his experience as a filmmaker in the backcountry. His skills as a stand-up comedian come across in his videos and on the podcast. So I am sure that you will enjoy both. |
EPISODE 24: BACKCOUNTRY 101-ROOKIE MISTAKES
“Backcountry 101” is the first installment in this mini-series where we sit around the campfire and discuss the fundamentals of backpacking. In this episode, we talk about the times when we’ve taken too much, hiked too far, or put members of our group in terrain that was way above their skill level. Enjoy the show and have a laugh at our expense. And yes, this is a photo from the hike with “Bob”! |
In the movie, Kori talks about her physical and emotional struggles on the A.T., the healing powers of long distance hiking, and what it’s like to film and produce a film while hiking the Appalachian Trail. She also gives us some insight in to the film industry and talks about her recent trips to various film festivals in the U.S. |
EPISODE 22: WALK IN THE WOODS, LIFE AS AN EXTRA
|
EPISODE 21: GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
On the show, we discuss his quest for a third map in the “Smokies” – or the completion of every trail in the Park. While a “map” is technically ~900 miles, a hiker walks roughly 1500 miles to complete it. And JD is on his third map – dang! Fewer than 400 can even claim one! |
