Each episode will cover various hiking topics, the 181 days we spent on the PCT, interviews with fellow hikers/trail angels, or even chats with gear junkies. We are a married couple who love hiking and ultra running. In 2022, we sold everything and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Listen in as we shoot the hiking breeze.

  • E42 | Nick "Desert Jesus" Fowler | A Nobody Who's Obsessed With The West | Fireside Chats
    Nov 11 2024
    Episode Summary: Red urine, a dissolving toe, can’t squat to poo, drinking water from a trashcan hiking over 2000 miles in undies that end up buttless, 50+ mile days…persistence, determination, finisher, husband, and father. These are all words and phrases that describe Nick “DJ or Desert Jesus” Fowler, a man who’s a bit less man, and more athletic deity if you ask us. Nick sits down with us to cover just what it takes to FKT trails, push yourself beyond your limits, how to cope with regrets from trail, and impending fatherhood. Honestly, we will probably listen to this episode several times because we just love this guy. Cheers to you, Nick- a true man who's obsessed with the west, but definitely not a nobody.

  • BONUS | Hiking Injured & Marriage | Rene "Azul" Aldrich
    Oct 31 2024
    Episode Summary: Halloween Bonus Episode release, because it's scary to hike with an injury, the thought of it taking you off trail is terrifying. Listen in. In this subscriber episode of YWIB we sit down with Renee “Azul” Aldrich to cover hiking while married (and your spouse is NOT with you), but also hiking with a potentially hike-ending injury. How’s intimacy when you haven’t seen you spouse for weeks or months? What emotional hurdles do you have to overcome to keep waking up to hike each day when it may be your last? We only had Azul for a short episode because she had to hop back on trail (the CDT) but expect a full-length interview with her in the near future.
