Summary

In this episode, Trail Tales editor and badass hiker Rose "Comics" Turner is back on the show, this time to discuss thru-hiking movies! We talk about the movies "A Walk in the Woods", "Wild", and a few more. I have not seen any of these movies, but Rose has, and I make some assumptions about them as we compare the way they portray thru hiking to the reality of thru hiking.  Rose's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rotucomics/ Rose's Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/837253/ Like what you hear?

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

0:22.5

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

0:26.9

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

0:32.0

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.

0:46.6

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

0:53.2

We basically go through some hiking movies.

0:58.5

So we go through a walk in the woods.

1:00.9

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

1:04.9

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

1:09.4

take a drink every time I mention

1:10.9

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

times.

1:15.8

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

1:21.7

ones we spend most of the time talking about.

1:23.7

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.

1:32.4

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.

1:43.4

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

1:49.0

And it was really, really fun.
