Yo, yo, yo, yo, check, check, one, two, one, two.

My name is Kyle O'Grady.

I'm a through hiker.

I am a peak bagger.

I am a huge hiking nerd.

And every single week on this podcast, you know what we do.

We talk with other through hikers and other peakbackers and other hiking nerd. What the hell am I doing?

I'm trying to have fun this morning. This is Trail Tales. Welcome. And this is a really fun episode.

Speaking of fun, Baker Bocority is back on the show. His freaking first episode back, dude, since Trail Tales took its little hiatus.

And we did something fun.

We went through our unpopular backpacking slash through hiking slash hiking opinions,

unpopular opinions.

And it was just a hoot.

This gentleman cracks me up. We're good friends and I think you're

going to be hearing plenty more episodes with him in the future as you're probably used to

because he's the most common guest on Trail Tales. That is that is the record that he holds.

Quite incredible. Real quick before we get into the episode, please leave a five-star review for the show

on whatever your podcast app is,

if it's Apple Podcasts or Spotify or CastBox.

If you're someone like Baker

who listens to podcasts on CastBox for some reason,

I don't care what it is.
