Summary

Maybe don't listen to this podcast during your lunch because Chaunce has an all-timer poop story. Also on episode 14 of Backpacker Radio, the Cinnamon Connection is joined by 2016 Appalachian Trail thru-hiker and 2017 Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiker John "Data" Harvey. Data discusses the differences between hiking SOBO and NOBO on the two trails, how his love for thru-hiking has transitioned into ultra-running, and what it's like to hike during a drought and a record-high snow in consecutive years. We chat about the importance of the Land and Water Conservation Fund to the Appalachian Trail (an article written by episode 8 guest, Laura "Hey Girl" Johnston). Lastly, we celebrate our 100,000th download by challenging our guest to a good old fashioned game of "truth or dare, but not dare" aka keep it a'hundid.

Topics discussed include:

0:14.9	In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, we sit down and chat with our buddy Data, hear a little bit about his AT and PCT hiking and also the wonderful world of ultra-running. But before we do, I want to give a shout out to today's sponsor, Sawyer Products. Did they send you some of that Picardan goodness?
0:20.9	They did. They've got these little packets of like travel sized
0:25.4	Picaritan lotions. They're actually really good. I brought them out on the
0:29.5	Colorado Trail and one of those little packets like Subaru Light barely takes up any space, got a few
0:35.8	uses out of just one packet.
0:37.9	I will totally agree with you.
0:39.8	The wife and I took it to Crested Butte last weekend. I think the box comes with seven different
0:44.4	packets of that lotion. It's funny that we both started off with the lotion as opposed
0:48.8	to the other options because they do have a lot of different applications for the Picaritan
0:52.4	but the lotion was super easy.
0:54.2	I've used to spray too.
0:55.1	Oh, okay, I didn't.
0:56.6	And I will say the mosquitoes weren't horrendous,
0:59.9	but they were present, and as soon as we applied the pecarotin, they were
1:03.4	a non-issue.
1:04.2	I was also glad because like the lotion wasn't like it didn't leave you
1:06.8	sticky afterwards or like you know it was like kind of nice.
1:09.7	The thinner lotion.
1:10.8	Because usually I don't like lotions.
1:12.0	Yeah. But it was it didn't make me like
1:14.4	apprehensive afterwards. It's a good plug. A non-apprehensive lotion
1:18.6	application. Is that the right you suffer? The lotion's effective for up to 14 hours. The spray is effective for up to 12.
