In This Episode:

Howdy, hikertrash! Thru-hiking is a selfish activity, no way around it. But, admitting that and still embracing trail community really dispels the illusion and lets you make the most of the experience.
Today’s podcast episode is part 1 of 2 from an interview with legendary hiker, Nic “Darwin” Rakestraw. The conversation focuses on his hiking resume and how his relationship with thru-hiking has evolved (pun intended) over the years. He’s built a “career” (as he would put it, in air quotes) as a filmmaker on YouTube and combined his love for storytelling with hiking and outdoor adventure. Our conversation wraps with a heavy discussion on elitism and imposter syndrome in the hiking world, and how to navigate through it.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to check out Darwin’s hiking gear shop, Evolved Supply Co. to prep for your next outdoor adventure while supporting small cottage brands looking to set you up for lightweight success.
