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

In this episode of YWIB, we lasso 3 other hikers into our 24-hours of straight hiking from Shelter Cover Resort to…somewhere. At some point, we lose 2 folks to sleepiness, see a sasquatch/Jesus burn image, just about die from mosquitoes, and then FINALLY make it to 24 hours. Basecamp loses her wedding band, we spend 3 days in Sisters, resting…and then we begin our road walk around the Lionshead

Episode Summary: Inspiration. Inspiration is the first step towards action. Before we hiked the PCT in 2022, we were inspired to hike it, not only from online sources, but more importantly by hikers who took the time to tell their long-form stories, in books. Keith “Fozzie” Foskett wrote one of two books which gave Basecamp and me the final push we needed to commit to the PCT. Years later, here we are sitting down to chat with the author of The Last Englishman. Fozzie shares some of his highs and

Episode Summary: Today’s episode of YWIB is brought to you by…mosquitos…lots and lot of em’. But seriously this week 20 on the PCT was an annoying, nagging stretch filled with the little bloodsuckers. But there’s always a silver lining, and that silver lining was all the resort hopping we were doing, the epic views from the lip of Crater Lake, and the fact that we met both Devil Fish, and who’d become a life friend, Songbird. The week ends with our setup for a 24-hr challenge. Lastly, we wrap up

Episode Summary: Boobs. This episode is for everyone, but especially for folks…who have boobs- that’s female, male, or anyone else who may have a curvy figure. Sarah Berkeley noticed there was a need in the outdoor industry for backpacks that fit the curvy physique, a problem she herself struggled with while hiking the PCT. Embracing her pioneer spirit, she decided to do something about it. Thus, Symbiosis Gear was born. Symbiosis creates backpacks for anyone to use, but packs that most definitely

Episode Summary: In this episode we cover our Week 19 on the PCT where Amber (Basecamp's sister) comes to join us for a few days! Seiad Valley was a tough climb to manage so we should have chugged chocolate milk. But, we had Asland in our near horizon...which meant food. Zeroes in Ashland with Amber & Ryan (her hubby) refilled our cup, and seeing Amber on trail was a true inspiration for us. She killed 20+ miles and even lugged an AeroPress coffee maker with her alongside a 2-3 person tent

A hiker café awaited us before starting, but then the brutal heat was a poor hiking companion for Basecamp. Oh, we met Jupiter and didn’t even know it at first! A magical trail angel, Chris Hyde, treated us like royalty from Gondor, Deuces wore tailor-made custom-fitted cutoff jean shorts, we skipped Burney Falls to eat ice cream and order Jolly Gear matching shirts, two bucks ate our pee,
