Hosted by Appalachian Trail thru-hiker Aaron "Squirrel Meat" Richardson, the show includes trail news, interviews, and useful backpacking tips from folks with more than a few miles under their belt. Whether you are planning a section-hike or a thru-hike, listen to this podcast for techniques to improve your chances of hiking success with a focus not only on the gear and logistical aspects of backpacking, but on the mindset needed to complete a hike. The Long-Distance Backpacking Podcast is released every two weeks.
