Episode Summary: Is that a goat up in the sky? That sucker has wings. While maybe not up in the clouds, Ram keeps the conversation real and down to Earth with us as we chat about this lightweight clothing cottage company-SkyGOAT. Using his GOATgrid fleece, Ram has created a one-of-a-kind material ready for your next hike, run, or 14er summit. We love hearing how smaller, local companies start and then just hit it big, so listen in with Ram and hear some of the crazy winter sports he gets himself into.

Episode Summary: Howdy! We wanted to shake up the cadence a bit and share some ofthe things we’ve learned in our years of backpacking and thru-hiking. That’s to saw, we wish we’d known some of these things before we were forced to learn them, but experience is the best teacher, right?!

Episode Summary: We were hiking along an asphalt desert, quite literally...it was desert and farmland in Oregon, but we were walking the highway with no shoulder. Our thighs, shins, and feet were riddled with painful red splotches-heat rash. But thank goodness we had angels along the way, people going out of their way to offer us water, air conditioning, and shelter. We circumvented the Lions head closure with a road walk and rewarded ourselves with the famous Timberline Lodge buffer (every hiker’s dream). Our week 22 of the PCT was jam-packed, and concludes with a pretty stunning hiking speckled with waterfalls, and new hiker friends as we arrive at Cascade Locks. Cascade Locks signifies the end of Oregon (NOBO) and the beginning of the last state of the PCT, Washington. Oh, and Yeti was too drunk to say hello to his then PCT hero, and we stayed in an asylum converted to a hotel. We wrap with an environmental corner segment discussing the importance of ground truthing information both about our environment, and beyond.
