The Kalalau Trail is intense. Most people don't think of Hawaii as being home to one of the gnarliest backpacking trips out there, but it is. The Kalalau Trail is no joke, and in this episode I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about hiking it.

Morgan Brosnihan is a Pacific Crest Trail thru hiker and physical therapist who literally saved my PCT hike in 2022. She runs a business called Blaze Physio, travelling up and down the PCT giving affordable and effective physical therapy to thru hikers in desperate need. It's a genius idea, this is her story.

This was a HILARIOUS episode folks. Baker and I test Artificial Intelligence bot ChatGPT's knowledge about thru hiking and ultralight backpacking, and have the bot generate us some hilarious stories.

Appalachian Trail and Colorado Trail thru hiker Jessica Pu and I go over some ways that thru hiking has transformed our "regular" lives outside of the trail. From food to showers to walking fast at the grocery store, and we even get into some 'deeper' changes as well.

Tristen Steele thru hiked all over the country this year, completing large sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Oregon Coast Trail, as well as a yo-yo hike of the Ouachita Trail. This is all impressive as it is, but even more so since he is only 18 years old! And of course... he's a huge goofball, in the best way possible.
