- LOVE!
I love everything about this podcast and can’t wait to listen when each episode comes out. It is inspiring, informative and fun! I love listening to each person’s perspective while they’re on the journey. It makes me feel like I’m on the trail with them! I have been listening since the first season, and I am thrilled that it is back. Thanks to all who contributed to this wonderful podcast! The only thing that would make it better is having more episodes to listen to.

It needs more variety. Different trails. Bikepacking. Something. All the stories and comments are redundant from years prior. If you’ve heard one season, you’ve heard them all.

Norway4 years ago - Great resource for aspiring thru hikers
I hope one day I’ll be able to embark on a long distance thru hike. In the meantime I’m enjoying my short stints outside and doing a lot of research. This pod is a great resource to hear a wide variety of experiences. It’s quelling some of my fears (ie. town resupplies, hitching) and giving great gear tips on what works and what doesn’t. Helpful as I build up my systems. Hope it gets revived!
