Trail Tales - Thru-Hiking & Backpacking

The last time Appalachian Trail thru hiker Baker Bokorney was on the show, we put out a call for Trail Tales listeners to send him DMs on Instagram. That was pretty much the only criteria, and 8 of you delivered. Many of the messages discussed cool/lesser known thru hikes that folks want to complete, and many of them were roasting me as well.

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.  Rose's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rotucomics/ Rose's Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/837253/ Like what you hear?
