About this listen

Join us, Wesley "Yeti Legs" and Marie "Basecamp" Black on the YETI WALKS INTO BASECAMP: Talking. Thru. Hiking. Podcast, where we discuss all things in the wonderful world of hiking. 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 to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Since then, we've hiked even more long trails. Welcome!YETI WALKS INTO BASECAMP

  • E73 | PCT | [The Rest Of] Week 24 | Norovirus Epidemic, Huckleberries, And Turtle Hallucinations | White Pass to Snoqualmie Pass
    Sep 29 2025

    Episode Summary:

    In this week’s episode, we finish up the last four days of week 24 where we reflect on enjoying one of Washington’s freezing lakes on a stranger’s paddleboard, dealing with shoe malfunctions, bonding with U-Turn, hallucinating turtles and (maybe) people, getting the sug-sug, and narrowly escaping the Snoqualmie norovirus epidemic.

    Stick around for an update on our AZT documentary, our future hiking plans, and a riveting environmental corner about the southern boarder wall and it’s effects on wildlife and the environment.

    ALSO! Take our poll and let us know if you want to close out this YWIB season with two episodes that cover Basecamp and Loba’s hike of the Collegiate Loop!

    Enjoy!
