  • Excellent content!

    The host, Jeremy, really does his homework. In every episode, he gives you the backstory for the featured trail and it’s always interesting. Then comes the interview with someone who recently hiked the trail. I’ve learned a lot! Even on trails I don’t think I’ll do, I’ll pick up tips. In the most recent episode, for example, I learned about looking for that saddle in a mountain range (this may seriously help me someday) and pee bottles. 😆 All in all, a great podcast.

Ep. 76: Gerard Hiking Trail
Q: What was the weather like on day two, and how did you cope?

Ep. 76: Gerard Hiking Trail
Q: What is one piece of gear you don't leave home without?
A neck buff, used for wind protection, cooling while crossing streams in summer, heating at night, and even as a makeshift pot holder or head covering, illustrating how a single item can serve multiple critical functions.
Ep. 74: Finding Wilderness Close to Home
Q: What were the key logistics that made it work financially and practically near San Francisco?
Selecting three main stays close to the trail, planning eight-to-ten mile days, and using a mix of hotels/B&Bs with a prudent budget—despite high local prices—made the trip feasible; reservations and planning ahead were crucial.
Ep. 74: Finding Wilderness Close to Home
Q: How did you balance hiking with a one-year-old in the group?
They paced days with frequent stops, shipped ahead baby supplies, used car camps or inns near the trail, and leveraged local transport options to minimize the logistical burden while keeping Summit engaged.
Ep. 74: Finding Wilderness Close to Home
Q: What inspired you to attempt an end-to-end hike in Marin County close to home?
The Glazes wanted to recapture the European hut-to-hut vibe locally, showing that you can have a meaningful wilderness experience without long flights, and they planned a reverse of experiences with different accommodations to illustrate flexibility.
