Summary

We are all constantly trying to improve. We learn from each and every day spent in the field, pursuing what we love. Imagine if you could take several consecutive months and spend it "out there". How much could you learn? Imagine how real, concrete, and true the lessons would be. In this episode, we get to learn from someone that has had this experience. Emory Ronald (ByLand.co) hiked the Pacific Crest Trail this past year, and he joins us to share some of the lessons he learned on his journey of spending over 2,000 miles hiking through some of the best terrain that the West has to offer. We talk nutrition, gear, mindset, and more. ALSO, Emory gave us the opportunity to get even more specific on the topic of lightening your pack weight in a new article on the Exo Mtn Gear blog.

1:00.5	fall, but it's for good reason. He was out spending time in the wilderness, putting more miles on the
1:07.2	trail and seeing more time and intent under the stars than you and I will in most seasons and maybe

1:21.5	thousands of miles meant many dozens of nights over several months and you get to hear about it.

1:35.2	adventure and certainly we can learn from Emory as somebody who spent hundreds and hundreds of miles
1:41.9	on the trail. What gear worked, what didn't, what nutrition worked, what didn't, what routines
1:47.2	worked and what didn't. What did he learn that he truly needed and what did he learn that was just
1:53.7	extra. So there's so much information, so much to be learned from somebody who has spent this much
2:00.6	time outside in the wild in one season. Can't wait to bring it to you guys. Before we dive into the
