I Suck at Hiking (Michael McInally) joins the show to discuss his 2024 Appalachian Trail Thru Hike attempt. He will be vlogging on his YouTube channel, and in this episode I gave him the chance to pick my brain about the trail. I was brutally honest in all my answers. Will he make it all the way to end of the Appalachian Trail, especially with his dog?! We will all find out soon.
