Jeff Kish has hiked both the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT) and now works for the PNT. After hiking the PCT he became an immediate advocate, trying to help other hikers and future hikers alike. As son as he finished his thru hike of the PNT, he did the exact same thing!
This passion took him all the way to now working for the PNT and helping the trail itself. His talk about the Washington section of the trail has inspired me to start section hiking the trail.
Nick Lenn brings his son on most hikes. He has some tips and tricks that have helped them both enjoy each and every trip. We discuss his ideas and some of the hikes around Mount Baker that they have done! He also is a part of the podcast RC Heli Nation. Nick is also a photographer and you can find him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicklennphotography/

Melissa Lynn Lieser tells us all about her company, Backpacker's Bistro, which makes delicious sounding trail meals. She explains the process of making them and most importantly how much healthier they are than other brands on the market.
2008 winner of the French Culinary Institute's Top Chef award, Melissa combined her passions for backpacking and food when she founded Backpacker's Bistro in 2016 with a simple philosophy: we believe that the most satisfying and healthy meals begin with whole, real foods. We believe in finding quality products from sustainable sources, locally if possible.
Round two with Shannon Cunningham proves to be quite the update. She has greatly expanded her trail meals website (http://www.musthikemusteat.com). Her recipes are amazing. I can say with confidence because I was able to try a couple this past summer.
She has also taken on a huge role with the PCTA through northern Washington's North 350 Blades! She adopted a section of the Pacific Crest Trail just north of Stevens Pass and is going to lead her first trip this summer in the Glacier Peak area.
Renee Patrick, aka She-Ra is back to talk about the Oregon Desert Trail (ODT). All of the information you would want to know is right in this episode.
The ODT has an amazing website: https://onda.org/where-we-work/oregon-desert-trail that has an online guide book, water information and ways to get involved.
Kris Harken has an absolute passion for fishing in high alpine lakes. He explains all aspects of fishing while hiking. Poles, bait, rigs, floats, styles, times, and most importantly how to read a lake. We talk about how lakes are stocked and how to find that information out.
