Podcasts about Appalachian Trail

Scott Benerofe is a backpacker and ultra-runner based out of Vermont. Scott has some pretty insane efforts to his name, including a winter Appalachian Trail thru-hike (see episode #20) and a single push link-up of the Pemi Loop, Presi Traverse, and Mahoosuc Traverse (see episode #74). In early August, Scott went out and took over 14 hours off of the unsupported FKT for the Adirondack 46 High Peaks. It is a gnarly challenge that pushed Scott 190+ miles with 70,000 feet of vertical. It is also the #10 ranked Northeast Region Notable Routes for FKTs. Xander and Will talk with Scott all about his effort in this episode.

Jason Sits down with Kevin McGillicuddy - trainer, team leader, and Associate Broker at Fox & Roach, Realtors Society Hill office to talk about his journey hiking the enitre 2,190 miles of the Appalaichian Trail. Kevin shares what he learned in those four months immersed in the wilderness, how he persevered, what the solitude and challenges along the way taught him, and how those lessons translate back into his real estate business and general outlook on life.

While I'm out chasing a self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail, we're throwing it back to one of the weirdest solo episodes yet.This one's all about hallucinations—those sleep-deprived visions that show up when the miles get long and the sleep gets short. I break down my top five all-time hallucinations from FKTs and multi-day races like Nolan's 14, Cocodona, the Arizona Trail, and the Colorado Trail.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context of the Podcast02:11 Hallucinations from Sleep Deprivation07:22 First Hallucination: The Safari Guy11:59 Second Hallucination: Witches in the Woods19:32 Third Hallucination: The Robot in the Cliff23:13 Fourth Hallucination: Black Bears and Stumps27:17 Conclusion and Future PlansYou'll meet:The Safari Man who's been following me for yearsWitches in the forest waiting to sweep me upA three-story robot stuck in a rock wallA pirate ship in the desert for some reasonAnd chicken feet sprouting from the EarthWe also touch on why hallucinations happen, what triggers them, and how I'm turning them into AI-generated images—because if I have to see these things, so do you.Sponsors:Janji • Garage Grown Gear • CS Coffee • Mount to CoastSupport the Appalachian Trail FKT attempt + the show: Patreon.com/freeoutsideSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

The Appalachian Trail is more than just a path through the mountains... it's a living, breathing museum of history, folklore, and mystery. Beneath its sweeping vistas and quiet ridgelines, countless hikers have stumbled into something far stranger than blisters and black bears: ghostly figures, phantom lights, and encounters that leave them questioning what's real and what belongs to another world.From Civil War battlefields still echoing with unseen soldiers, to spectral figures wandering foggy ridges, the Appalachian Mountains are a corridor for the strange and the terrifying.This week, we focus on the paranormal side of the Appalachian Trail. You'll hear about:The fire-scorched figure that stalked a camper in Virginia, tied to a tragic house fire.The mysterious Brown Man, a hulking presence that seemed to control dogs with nothing but its stare.The hazy man by the birch tree witnessed by both a young girl and her mother in Pennsylvania.The unsettling phantom children, whose laughter haunted hikers for miles.The wide-brimmed stranger in period clothes, with piercing blue eyes, who vanished into thin air.The ghostly woodsman of Pierce Pond in Maine, returning night after night by the campfire glow.The restless child spirit of Ottie Cline Powell at Punchbowl Shelter.Dark Hollow Road's cemetery, where love, betrayal, and tragedy left spirits that still linger.The phantom hound and little girl said to haunt Big Ridge State Park in Tennessee.And the blood-soaked hills of Spook Hill and Fox's Gap, where Civil War dead still push cars uphill with ghostly hands.We'll explore:Why hikers so often encounter apparitions in the Appalachian wilderness.How history, tragedy, and folklore fuel the trail's haunted reputation.What these stories reveal about the human connection to place — and to the unknown.Join us as we step into the shadows of the Appalachian Trail - a place where the natural world and the supernatural blur together, and where the past is never truly gone.Stay strange.

Strange Stories & Legends from the Appalachian Trail & Surrounding AreasBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

In this soul-spilling solo episode, I get honest from a borrowed cabin (and even more borrowed fishing hat) about why I gave up my home, comforts, and stability to chase a 40+ day goal on the Appalachian Trail. This isn't just about trying to set an FKT—this is about redefining why we go after anything in life. I break down what it means to pursue something uncertain, unplug from the chaos, and find the rawest form of purpose in a world drowning in notifications, optics, and comparison traps.From unexpected homelessness to deep reflections on fear, failure, self-worth, and the primal joy of moving through wild places, this episode is a deep dive into what motivates me—and maybe what can motivate you too. No pretense. No performance. Just truth, vulnerability, and a reminder that trying is enough.Plus: gear talk, sponsor love, and why I might be cramping somewhere on the AT as you listen.Brought to you by:Janji.

Sandra Katerina Schmelzer Alvarez, or Peaches, completed her Appalachian Trail thru-hike last month. She is a single mother who managed her autistic son's reaction to her hike by preparing him for a year before she left. The hike allowed her to see herself as not just a mother, embracing the hiking community and returning home to her son, Nico, with a new perspective on life and motherhood. You can follow Sandra and see plenty of her thru-hike photographs on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/share/1B7SHgqvAN/?mibextid=wwXIfr. Additionally, check out the MeetUp she referred to for backpacking trips and tuition at Beginner Backpacking Clinic – Max Patch to Roaring Fork Shelter - BP 101, Sat, Sep 20, 2025, 9:00 AM | Meetup. Beth and Andrew are closing in on Katahdin but, as you can see below, they don't get wonderful views everyday. They are down to the last 150 miles, relishing each moment. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

Episode Description:In the world of hiking gear, there's a big difference between buying from a faceless chain store and walking into a shop where the owner knows the trails, knows the gear, and probably knows half the thru-hikers passing through. In this episode of Trailblazing Texas Podcast, In part one of my conversation with Coach, the heart and soul behind Marion Outdoors, a small-town outfitter and hostel that's become a lifeline for Appalachian Trail hikers and the local community alike.We talk about how Marion Outdoors began, what it's like to run a gear shop and hostel for hikers, and why supporting small, independent outfitters matters. Coach shares the challenges and rewards of helping thousands of hikers each year, how product knowledge comes from firsthand trail experience, and the community impact that keeps him going.From gear tips for first-time backpackers to the most overthought (and most overlooked) trail essentials, we cover what every hiker should know before setting out. You'll also hear memorable stories from the shop, favorite gear picks, and the one moment that made Coach say, “Yeah… this is exactly why I do this.”If you've ever wondered what it's like to be an outfitter, hostel owner, and hiker mentor all rolled into one—or why buying local makes such a difference—this conversation will inspire you to think twice before clicking “add to cart.”

When a young woman witnesses the cold-blooded execution of her hiking companion on the Appalachian Trail and lives to tell the tale, her chilling story is almost too much for law enforcement in 1974 to believe. Then, as the pieces start to come together, police are faced with a human predator whose criminal career is the stuff of nightmares. View source material and photos for this episode at: parkpredators.com/the-stranger Park Predators is an audiochuck production. Connect with us on social media:Instagram: @parkpredators | @audiochuckTwitter: @ParkPredators | @audiochuckFacebook: /ParkPredators  | /audiochuckllcTikTok:  @audiochuck

In this episode of the Free Outside Podcast, I replay one of my all-time favorite convos — a sit-down with Tara Dower, who absolutely crushed the supported Appalachian Trail FKT and somehow lived to tell the tale (barely).Consider supporting The Trevor Project https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATWe talk about everything from post-trail depression to how it feels when your crew spoon-feeds you every meal for 40 days straight. Tara breaks down the power of delegation, what it's like to lose all decision-making autonomy, and how a dog bite during a panic attack marked the low point of her hiking career (and also maybe the turning point).She also shares how pacing Kyle Curtin on the Colorado Trail helped her build her own FKT strategy, why her crew was the real MVP, and how she managed to crush Hardrock 100 just weeks before starting her AT attempt.This isn't just a recap of a record — it's an honest look at fear, failure, mental health, and the grind it takes to do something massive. Plus, Tara drops her next FKT plans and talks about the weird joy of vlogging in a blizzard.If you're curious about how to plan for an FKT this big — or just want to hear two sleep-deprived trail nerds bond over anxiety and peanut butter — you'll love this one.Sponsored by:Janji – Use code FREEOUTSIDE for a discountGarage Grown Gear – Ultralight dreamlandCS Coffee – My trail coffee of choiceMount to coast – Big things brewingUltraspire - A cool pack is on the way Chapters00:00 Introduction to Tara Dower's Achievements07:52 The Journey to the Appalachian Trail FKT13:47 Lessons from Failure: The 2017 Attempt20:03 The Importance of Crew Dynamics26:12 Planning for the FKT: The Trail Bible32:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Goals41:44 The Evolution of FKT Training49:55 The Role of Social Media in Outdoor Experiences58:26 Mindset for Tackling Big Challenges01:03:46 Interview with Tara Dower: FKT on the Appalachian TrailSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

On a clear night along the Appalachian Trail, you might expect to hear the wind through the trees, the crunch of your boots on gravel, maybe the call of a whip-poor-will in the distance.But for over two centuries, hikers, settlers, and locals have reported something else: strange creatures lurking just beyond the campfire glow.From apple-snatching tricksters in Pennsylvania to headless hulks in West Virginia, the Appalachian Mountains are alive with legends of monsters that refuse to be forgotten.This week, we dive deep into the cryptid lore of Appalachia. You'll hear about:The mischievous Albatwitch, stealing apples along the Susquehanna.The terrifying Flatwoods Monster (“Braxie”), glowing-eyed and hooded in red.The ghostly White Thangs, pale cousins of Bigfoot.The stinking, swamp-stalking Skunk Apes of the southern Appalachians.Ole Slewfoot, the three-legged bear-beast of Balsam Mountain.Pukwudgies, magical tricksters of Wampanoag legend.The Loveland Frogmen, bipedal frogs on the edge of Ohio.The vampire-like Appalachian Chupacabra.Raven Mockers, shape-shifting omens of death that feast on human hearts.The mist-born Smoke Wolves, red-eyed predators that vanish into fog.Wampus Cats, half-woman, half-beast curses from Cherokee legend.The dragonlike Snallygaster, feared by early German settlers.The lumbering, headless Grafton Monster of West Virginia.And of course… the legendary Mothman, Appalachia's most infamous omen.We'll explore:Eyewitness encounters that still haunt people decades later.How folklore blends with tragedy, history, and cultural memory.Why so many cryptid sightings cluster along the Appalachian Trail.And what these stories say about our deepest fears of the dark woods.Join us as we trek into the shadows and unravel the monsters of the Appalachian Trail — creatures as strange, mysterious, and enduring as the mountains themselves.Stay strange.

Scott Little of Green Cove Collective comes on the show to discuss the Virginia Creeper Trail as it exists post-Helene and what the impact the hurricane had on the trail and it's close knit community of shops, restaurants and outdoor enthusiasts. In this episode we chat about how Scott started his online shop and then the brick and mortar store in Green Cove during Covid as a way to both support and be an essential part of the biking and outdoors community that has been created around the Creeper Trail. The Virginia Creeper Trail is a 35-mile (56 km) multi-purpose rail trail. Located in southwestern Virginia, the trail runs from Abingdon to Whitetop, near Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and the North Carolina border. The trail accomodates hikers, cyclists and equestrians on its descent from Abingdon to Damascus. 18 miles of the 34-mile mile Creeper Trail, from Damascus to Whitetop, have been devastated. To date, 18 trestles have been lost – destroyed or washed away. In extended sections, the trail itself no longer exists… reclaimed by the rushing, flooded creeks. Trailheads, access points, amenities and signage have been destroyed as well (Credit: Virginia Creeper Trail Conservancy). To connect with Scott/Green Cove Collective and learn more: Instagram: @virginiacreepertrail, @greencovecollectiveWeb: greencovecollective.com Music clip credit:"Whiskey on the Mississippi" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Support the showConnect with Hike:Instagram: @thehikepodcast @shenandoahexplorerFacebook: @thehikepodcastEmail: hikepodcast@gmail.com

I'm going after Joe “Stringbean” McConaughy's record of 45 days and change, but flipping the direction: Maine to Georgia.

Roxanne Strine completed her Appalachian Trail thru-hike just a few weeks ago, at the sprightly young age of 70. She proved her mettle after her original plans fell through at the last minute, deciding to modify those plans and just go for it. On the way, Roxanne discovered an inner strength that she always knew was there, from her time in her 30s as a professional kickboxer!! Failure was truly not an option for Roxanne, even after getting lost in Maine and having to push the alarm button on her Garmin InReach. She worked out what worked for her and stuck with that plan until the end. Her hike could serve as a template for others thinking that the physicality would be too much for them. Also this week, Andrew and Beth reached Maine and the Mahoosuc Notch. The end is in sight.

Cassandra Morecroft King, deputy program manager at BlackSea Technologies, did something most people only dream about: she quit her ocean engineering job in oil and gas and set out to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. But the toughest part wasn't the hike itself — it was reentering the engineering workforce afterward and figuring out how to frame her unconventional journey as a career strength. In conversation with host Sam East, Cassandra shares stories from the trail (including losing her shoes in a river), her experience of reentering the STEM workforce, and how engineers can leverage their personal adventures to highlight the unique skills they bring to the table. ----- The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting 50,000 members of all genders spanning 85 countries.

In the shadow of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, where morning mist clings to valleys older than memory, something walks on two legs that shouldn't exist. Tonight's bone-chilling episode takes you deep into the heart of America's most enduring mystery, beginning with a terrifying encounter from 1879 when the Henderson family of Craig County, Virginia came face to face with an eight-foot-tall nightmare peering through their kitchen window.This was no bear, no trick of the light, but something with eyes that held an intelligence both ancient and terrible. We journey back through centuries of horror, starting with the Cherokee people who knew these mountains harbored Tsul'Kalu, the slant-eyed giant with seven fingers on each massive hand. Their legends speak not of a simple beast but of a being with disturbing intelligence, one that could take human brides and transform into the horrifying Raven Mocker, capable of stealing hearts from living victims without leaving a single mark. These weren't campfire stories but warnings passed down with the deadly seriousness of survival knowledge, including the haunting tale of a Cherokee woman whose mysterious suitor turned out to be something that had to fold itself to fit inside her dwelling, its head scraping the rafters while its feet touched the opposite wall. As European settlers pushed into the wilderness, they encountered their own nightmares. We reveal the suppressed military records from the Civil War, when both Union and Confederate soldiers witnessed a massive figure walking among the battlefield dead at Droop Mountain, tenderly checking bodies and carrying wounded soldiers to safety with inhuman strength. The lumber camps of the late 1800s became theaters of terror, particularly the 1909 incident at Spruce Knob where something systematically destroyed an entire logging operation with its bare hands, tearing apart steam engines and leaving a message written in twisted metal and shattered wood that couldn't be clearer: leave these mountains or die.The modern era brought no relief from the terror. In 1959, a one-room schoolhouse in Buchanan County became a prison of fear when something tried every door and window while eight children and their teacher huddled in terror, watching massive fingers with yellowed nails reach through a partially open window. The creature's face appeared at each window in turn, ancient and terrible, with glowing yellow eyes that showed an intelligence that made its interest in the children all the more horrifying.The creation of the Appalachian Trail opened a new chapter of encounters, with experienced hikers and military veterans reduced to cowering in their tents as something massive circled their camps, attempting to speak in sounds that almost formed words, as if desperately trying to communicate across an impossible divide. The 1976 case of former Marine David Carpenter, who abandoned his thru-hike after something rehung his food bag fifteen feet higher than humanly possible, demonstrates that even hardened soldiers found themselves outmatched by whatever walks these ridges.We explore the modern explosion of sightings, including the 2006 Hungry Mother State Park incidents witnessed by multiple families, where a creature showed particular interest in tents containing children, approaching with a curiosity that parents found more terrifying than any aggression. The narrative reaches into the digital age with thermal drone footage from 2023 showing multiple bipedal heat signatures moving through the forest canopy, communicating with each other using vocalizations that linguistic experts claim show patterns consistent with language structure.Throughout this journey into darkness, we hear from the witnesses themselves, from nineteenth-century German settlers who watched in horror as something lifted entire roof structures off cabins, to modern researchers like Jeff Carpenter who looked into the eyes of these creatures and saw an intelligence that challenged everything he thought he knew about the natural world. The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum's collection of over three hundred footprint casts shows anatomical features that experts say would be nearly impossible to fake consistently across decades of hoaxes. But perhaps most chilling are the habituation sites, where property owners claim to have established ongoing contact with these entities, revealing not mere animals but beings with family structures, moral codes, and a culture that predates human presence in these mountains. One retired biology professor's five-year study suggests these creatures possess an intelligence that may equal or exceed our own, watching us from the forest edge with patience that spans generations. As we reach our terrifying conclusion, we're left with the understanding that every night in the six-hundred-thousand square miles of Appalachia, someone experiences something that will haunt them forever. The mountains themselves seem complicit in hiding these creatures, keeping secrets in their shadowed valleys and mist-shrouded peaks.The Cherokee elders remind us that Tsul'Kalu never left; we simply stopped seeing him, existing as he does in the space between the physical and spirit worlds, appearing when he chooses to remind us that we are not the only intelligence walking these ancient paths.When you hear something outside your window tonight, when your dog refuses to go outside, when you glimpse movement in the forest that doesn't match any known animal, remember that in the darkest corners of Appalachia, the monsters are real, they are intelligent, and they are closer than you think.Sleep well, if you can, knowing that somewhere in those blue-ridged mountains tonight, ancient eyes are watching from the treeline, massive footprints are being pressed into the soft earth, and the thin veil between legend and reality grows thinner with each passing hour. The mountains remember what we choose to forget, and in that remembering, the terror endures, waiting for the moment when humanity is finally ready to accept that we were never alone in these hills.

This week we are chatting with adventurer Cody Taylor a week out from his new Unsupported FKT on the International Appalachian Trail through Canada!!

In this gear-packed episode of The Free Outside Show, I break down everything I'm bringing to attempt the self-supported Appalachian Trail FKT. From a tarp that bugs will laugh at to a bandana that's doing its best to tame my untamable hair, I go through every single piece of gear—24 items total—and why each one made the cut. I also test the limits of how many sponsor plugs I can fit into a single monologue (spoiler: a lot). Whether you're into ultralight setups, curious about thru-hiking gear, or just want to hear someone spiral into gear-induced madness, this one's for you.Sponsored by: Janji, Garage Grown Gear, and CS Instant Coffee.PS: While you're listening, I'll be deep in the woods with lots of pairs of shoes, questionable hygiene, and a billion ticks.

Darrell Eck, or Old Stag, is this week's main guest. Darrell retired as a teacher in 2022 and fulfilled his dream of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. He had kept a picture of the AT behind him in his classroom, so the completion must have been sweet indeed. On the way, Darrell helped rescue a woman lost on trail leading her out when she had found herself turned around. He also discovered the precise height of a tree branch when he walked into it!! Surprisingly, Darrell hasn't set foot back on any trail since he finished, though I know our conversation sparked a renewed interest, so watch this space. With Dave finished, Beth and Andrew are our surviving Mighty Blue Class of 2025 members. As luck would have it, with Beth and Andrew in Gorham, NH, Dave and his wife, Jeannie, were visiting Gorham last Monday to visit with two of Dave's previous hiking partners, Sad Soup and Ahoy. They all met up and shared a great evening together, as you can see below. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

This episode is what happens when Jeff Garmire hands the mic (sort of) to actor and trail runner Allison Powell. What begins as an Appalachian Trail FKT strategy interview quickly spirals into alien voice impressions, reality TV pitches, peanut M&M disasters, and campaign platforms centered around botulism prevention.Amid the theater kid chaos and sitcom-level side tangents, Jeff actually does manage to break down his training, gear prep, food strategy (shoutout to fig bars and 1,000-calorie drink sludge), and what he's mailing to himself across 14 states. There's also a Billy-on-the-Street-style AT trivia game, a monologue from Little Women, and a deep dive into why salsa should always live in the fridge.Sponsored by Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS Coffee, and Mount to coast — because someone's gotta fund the fig bars and alien accents.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Live From the Bed00:54 Appalachian Trail Trivia Begins04:36 Exploring the Appalachian Trail's History08:24 Fun and Games: Trivia and Personal Stories12:20 Unicycling Adventures and Challenges16:03 Music Preferences and Concert Experiences19:16 Unique Perspectives on Hiking and EnduranceSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Hidden deep in the Appalachian Trail's misty pines, the Wapiti Shelter is more than just a rest stop—it's a place where true crime meets ghost story. In 1981, hikers Robert “Bob” Mountford Jr. and Laura Susan “Sue” Ramsay were murdered here by a stranger they'd shared dinner with, leaving behind a haunting that hikers still talk about. Fourteen years later, their killer returned, attacking two fishermen in the very same area. They survived a harrowing escape and life threatening injuries.  The Wapiti Shelter remains steeped in eerie tales, where every creak of the trees feels like a whisper from the past. Unseen touches, phantom cries, and vanishing figures make the site a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest thing in the woods is human. Plus, this one is a cryptid sandwich. We start with a horrifying flesh pedestrian photo from a listener, and finish with an Appalachian cryptid listener story. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

This one was a long time coming. I finally got to sit down with Joey Campanelli — aka Joey Camps — who's been quietly putting together one of the wildest, most hardcore FKT resumes in existence.

Mike Wetherhold, who was in the running to be part of the Mighty Blue Class of 2025, is our guest today. Mike went ahead and started the Appalachian Trail at the end of February, and finished mid-July. As you'll hear, he is a resilient kind of guy. Mike also had a serious purpose to his hike, raising a considerable sum for ALS research in honor of his Uncle Jay, who died from the disease. He felt Uncle Jay's presence throughout his hike. If this resonates with you, please support his efforts at this link.https://projectals.donorsupport.co/page/mikehikestheat You can also follow along with Mike's hike through his Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/mikehikestheat/ Two days ago, on August 19, Dave Santi, one of our Mighty Blue Class of 2025 members, finally reached the summit of Mt Katahdin with his Over the Hill Gang, with all seven members at the top together. He had glorious weather for the summit, as these joyous pictures show. Our other Class members, Beth and Andrew, are now well into New Hampshire and experiencing the Whites. They sent me this picture at the top of Mt Moosilauke. They're loving it.

Many of you are familiar with the disappearance of Gerry Largay, trail name Inchworm.   In 2013, Gerry went missing near Stratton Maine on her thru hike of the Appalachian Trail.  After Maine's most extensive search in their history, she was not found.  In fact, it wasn't until more than two years later that a surveyor found her remains.  So while you may be familiar with the story as it made international news, you probably don't know that Gerry was my friend and hiking buddy.   Gerry stepped off the trail to go to the bathroom, and then got disoriented.  Once she found herself lost in the woods, she didn't know what to do.  Today, if you'll spare me a few minutes, I'll teach you what you are supposed to do if YOU get lost in the woods.  This episode is in honor of my friend, Geradine Largay. In honor of Gerry, I produced this episode in hopes that it may help a fellow hiker who gets lost in the woods.  Today, you will learn tips and techniques you can use if you ever find yourself lost in the wilderness.  Please share this message with all of your hiking friends and family!

#174 - What does redemption look like at 72 years old? For Rand Timmerman, it meant lacing up his hiking boots and tackling the Appalachian Trail's 2,190 miles alongside his grieving brother—a journey that would test his newfound sobriety, physical limits, and spiritual foundation.Rand's path to that trailhead was anything but straight. Growing up in poverty after his father contracted polio, he discovered alcohol at 13 and was immediately transformed in his own mind from a skinny teenager to "Clint Eastwood." After impulsively enlisting during Vietnam, where both he and his brother served as helicopter gunners, Rand built a successful 40-year legal career while battling what many would call "functional alcoholism." Meanwhile, his brother Ronnie found faith, becoming a Mormon bishop and building a large blended family—until his wife's death left him shattered and seeking healing in nature.The brothers' epic hike across 600 mountains became much more than a physical challenge. For Rand, who had found sobriety just years earlier after hitting rock bottom at 65, it was the culmination of a spiritual awakening. "I was standing on a mountain in New Jersey," he recalls, "feeling spiritual power all around me, and I realized God made all of that and I never saw it before." Despite artificial knees, infections, and countless falls, Rand completed 1,863 miles before injuries forced him to stop.Today, Rand walks eight miles daily and dedicates hours to helping others overcome addiction.

The Appalachian Trail stretches more than 2,000 miles from Maine to Georgia. It was the brainchild of an idealistic forester who drew inspiration from a mountain top in Vermont. 

Tori "Chewy" Constantine is a thru-hiker from the Upper Valley who has extensive backpacking experience including thru-hikes of the Long Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail. Most recently Tori set a new women's unsupported record on the Long Trail, a premier FKT route that is 272 miles long with almost 70,000 feet of vertical spanning the entire state of Vermont.

What do a McDonald's, a rusted van, and an Appalachian Trail record have in common? Warren Doyle. On this episode of the Free Outside Podcast I am joined by the legend Warren Doyle — educator, endurance icon, and Appalachian Trail philosopher — for an unfiltered, no-bobblehead conversation about FKTs, culture clashes, and the soul of long-distance hiking.Warren recounts his 1973 AT speed record (before we even called them FKTs), discusses the evolution of trail culture, and shares stories of creeks, canteens, creek showers, and a boot gone rogue. We explore the role of endurance vs. speed, why “tempo” matters more than terrain, and what today's hikers can learn from the past — if they're willing to listen.Consider supporting my fundraising efforts for the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATPlus: reflections on Liz “Mercury” Durstine, Tara Dower, Scott Jurek, and the future of the ATC. Oh, and we discuss why “Don't bring the world with you” might just be the best trail advice you'll hear this year.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Legends02:55 Warren Doyle's Journey and Motivation05:59 Planning and Preparation for the Appalachian Trail09:00 Challenges Faced on the Trail12:01 The Emotional Journey and Sense of Purpose14:56 Endurance vs. Speed: The Philosophy of Hiking17:55 The Impact of Media and Public Perception21:08 The Evolution of Endurance Records23:44 The Future of the Appalachian Trail26:36 The Role of Community and Support29:29 Lessons from Liz Durstine Mercury's Journey32:28 Comparing Northbound and Southbound Hikes35:31 The Importance of Sleep and Recovery38:22 Navigating the Trail's Terrain and Challenges41:21 The Cultural Shift of the Appalachian Trail44:07 Final Thoughts and Advice for Future HikersSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

If you're interested in hiking or how a changing climate is impacting our public lands or even finding ways to deal with grief, we've got a podcast for you.

Our guest today is Mike Innes, or Bobcat, who hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2007, just before the explosion of technological marvels that help hikers these days. It was also the era when lightweight gear was about to become an obsession, so it was interesting to speak with Mike about his experience. Mike hiked with his dog, Romeo, for part of the way, and Romeo even acquired the delicious trail name of Swamp Monster. You can follow Mike on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mountainmike2007?igsh=MW02ZnRpeXYxcnZmOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr , and on his YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/@mikeinnes9053?si=1wqNRrG-p5XMZHcF Our Class of 2025 are nearing Katahdin, with Dave just about to enter the 100 Mile Wilderness, so he is in his last week. Here are the Gang at Shaw's. Menawhile, Beth and Andrew have crossed the Connecticut River in New Hampshire and just a few days shy of the Whites. Great times, though I didn't get an extra picture this week. We also spoke with Bruce Matson about the Woods Hole Weekend, which is coming up in September. If you'd like to join us, spaces are VERY limited right now, so call 540-921-3444 as soon as you can if you'd like to join us. Any questions about the weekend can be answered by Bruce, who is at rtkchallenge@gmail.com You can check out the details of the weekend at the Woods Hole website at https://woodsholehostel.com/things-to-do/the-woods-hole-weekend/ . I hope to see some of you there. If you need any more convincing, check out this from one of Ramdino's YouTube postings, where Luscious tells about his Woods Hole experience prior to his own thru-hike. Check it out at minute 16:40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLq6qUb-ldE&list=PLSmwvefzlV2nKVkdEj1MDG5785FnkfDEi&index=3. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting https://parentingmattersfl.org/eventer/hike-with-steve-empowering-parents-one-step-at-a-time/edate/2024-04-15/. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget.
