Episode Summary: Welcome to Oregon, the magic carpet,and our 24-hour challenge from week 21 on the PCT. 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 closure.

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 lows from an impressive thru-hiking career, covers topics from his favorite U.S. breakfast, a health scare on the CDT, struggling with depression, and even his ghostly experience on the PCT. This is less an interview and more catching up between old friends at a cozy pub. Listen in and share this time with us.

We wanted to share Fozzie’s thru-hiking resume, and thebooks he’s published to give you an idea of just how much this guy has done. He’s a TRUE dromomaniac.

Trails: El Camino de Santiago (the Camino de Francais route) in 2001, 2016 and 2019. El Camino de Santiago (the Via Podensis route) in 2001, and 2016. The Pacific Crest Trail in 2010. The Appalachian Trail in 2012. 500-miles on the CDT in 2015. Across Scotland in 2016 (600 miles). The following national trails in the UK: The South Downs Way (100-miles) at least 12 times. The North Downs Way (140-miles) 3 times. The Ridgeway (85-miles). The West Highland Way. The Cape Wrath Trail . . . and a lot of day walks!

Books: The Last Englishman, Balancing On Blue, TheJourney In Between, High and Low

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 with an environmental corner focusing on some weird stuff happening on the Pacific Coast of the United States. What’s happening to the wildlife, and why is it happening? Listen in to find out more.
