Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! This is Episode 11 which is all about the mental game required to attempt a thru-hike. Denial is not just a river in Africa and it’s the stories we tell ourselves that frame our experience as heavenly or h
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! I am your host moron and this is the last installment of the wildcard episodes for this season of the show. No real need for introductions here as we all know the drill by now. So, settle in and prepare to
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! Though many of us eat more so out of pleasure, schedule, routine or the like, a hiker’s relationship to food evolves during the course of a thru-hike and it’s an interesting change to take note of. Wherever
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! Today we're talking about the physical adjustment our correspondents have endured on trail. When it comes to staying on trail, you have to listen to your body. You ignore its cries and protests at your per
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! Today we’re looking at another wildcard edition of the show. In case you don’t know, wildcard episodes give our correspondents free reign to talk about whatever they’d like. So strap in for some wholesome
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! This is episode 6: the social experience. This episode isn't just about the "tramily" most hikers will invariably and organically find themselves a part of - it’s about the trail angels, the people who give
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! This is episode 5: expectations vs. reality. Picture in your mind’s eye, an ideal version of time spent in nature. It’s likely not raining and warm but not hot. Perhaps the perfect cooling breeze supportiv
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! I am your host moron. This is episode 4 of Trail Correspondents - the first wild card edition, wherein each of our contributors get to relay whatever is on their mind. This episode is a fun exposé highlight
Welcome back to Trail Correspondents! This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for: hitting the trail. While 11 members of this group have boots on the ground and are headed in their chosen direction toward their trail’s terminus, today we als
It’s said that proper preparation prevents poor performance. That being so, though there is a high level of inescapable serendipity and general chaos that has to be accepted and even embraced during a thru-hike, equally important is the foretho
Hello and welcome back to the much anticipated, 4th season of Trail Correspondents! This season features a great group of hopeful hiker who will be sharing their journeys with us all. Beyond just getting to know this new batch of folks, there i
Today marks the final episode of our third season. At the beginning of this year, before embarking on their SOBO thru-hikes, I asked our Correspondents to interview themselves. Specifically, their future selves. We wanted a way to demonstrate t
The finish. We are here. Not days, not weeks, but months of blood, sweat, and tears, all with the remote hope that the journey will conclude at the intended destination- the southern terminus. A goal that at one point feels too big to concep
Today brings us to our hikers last week on trail. Here, we asked our hikers to reflect on their journey overall. Although this isn't technically a wildcard episode, we gave our Correspondents free rein to focus in on whatever they felt most p
