Stories From The Trail

What questions would you have if you were about to go on your first ever overnight backpacking trip in the woods? Join Green Giant and Voldemort in the studio with Daniel Pitts, mailman, juggler, balloon animal maker. Daniel has done lots of interesting things, but he still hasn't slept in a tent. He'll ask us what to expect and we'll help him (and you!) plan that first overnight hike.  This special episode is the first in a series. Over the next few weeks we'll go on location to get geared up, and then take that gear out and put it (and Daniel) to the test!

Join Megan and me for a conversation with Scott Herriott, an outdoorsman, comedian, and noted Bigfoot enthusiast. Scott shares a personal encounter with Bigfoot while poking fun at the silly aspects of the Bigfoot hunter subculture. They also discuss comedy sketches, famous comedians, Walt Disney World, podcast hosting, skepticism towards the Patterson film and scientific investigations. The speakers further explore unknown creatures, paranormal phenomena, and hiking adventures in Australia.

Zach Davis, contributor to TheTrek.co, and pro wildlife photographer Mark Calcagni join the show. They discuss hiking photography, equipment needs, and storytelling through pictures. The hosts also reminisce about The Foothills Trail and tease the next episode featuring a Bigfoot hunter and AT through-hiker.

In this podcast, the hosts introduce themselves and their show. They discuss their initial experiences with recording and joke about their professionalism as podcasters. They also share their meeting on the trail and encountering rowdy toddlers at a shelter. The speaker shares their terrifying encounter with a mountain lion while hiking. They talk about the feeling of safety that comes from hiking with a strong companion and carrying a whistle.
