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

  • E68 | "The Sauce" | SkyGOAT | Ram Mikulas [Founder] & Billy The Goat
    Jul 21 2025

    Episode Summary: Is that a goat up in the sky? That sucker has wings. While maybe not up in the clouds, Ram keeps the conversation real and down to Earth with us as we chat about this lightweight clothing cottage company-SkyGOAT. Using his GOATgrid fleece, Ram has created a one-of-a-kind material ready for your next hike, run, or 14er summit. We love hearing how smaller, local companies start and then just hit it big, so listen in with Ram and hear some of the crazy winter sports he gets himself into!
