How's it going, everybody? Welcome to episode number 111. That's 1-1 of, in case you can't count, of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a throughhiker. I am a peakbacker. I am just a huge

hiking nerd and I'm guessing you are too if you're listening to this podcast. You're in the right

place because every single week on the show I chat with other through hikers, other peakbaggers,

and other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail.

Rose Turner, aka Comics, aka the amazing editor of this podcast, is this week's guest.

She's back for her second Trail Tales episode, and she came to me with a pretty fun idea for the episode.

We basically go through some hiking movies.

So we go through a walk in the woods.

We go through Wild and a few other ones towards the end.

And we just talk about them.

Now, if you want to play a drinking game with this episode,

take a drink every time I mention

that I've never seen most of these movies because I feel like I said that a thousand

times.

But yeah, I haven't seen most of these movies or at least Wild and A Walk in the Woods, the

ones we spend most of the time talking about.

However, Rose has seen these and the basic premise for the episode is I make some assumptions or just ask some questions about the movies.

Maybe compare them to what I know is the truth when it comes to through hiking and backpacking, which is just a fancy way of saying how accurate are these movies, I guess.

So yeah, that's kind of the loose premise, but we, as usual with these episodes, we kind of go all over the place.

And it was really, really fun.

Rose is an amazing hiker.

She's an amazing editor.
