How's it going, everybody? You're listening to episode number 43 of Trail Tales.

My name is Kyle O'Grady. I am a through hiker. I'm a peak bagger. People,

I just, I love to hike. And on this show every single week, I talk to another through hiker

or another peak bagger about their experiences on the trail. Now, if you're new here, I would

ask you to maybe listen to some older episodes,

and if you dig it, please subscribe and help out the show. I do lots of episodes where I

learn about new trails, like smaller trails, trails like the Cohoss Trail in New Hampshire,

maybe the Northville-to-Placid Trail and the Adirondack.

Some of these smaller trails you might not have ever heard of.

And of course, I do cover the big trails, like the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail as well.

So it's just a, it's a good time, people. I mean, I love to talk about hiking and my guests definitely do too. And maybe you'll

learn something. If you are a regular listener, welcome back. I appreciate you tuning in. And this is

going to be a good episode. I'm not going to lie, folks. This might actually be my favorite episode yet.

Emery Wonger from the Byland podcast joins me this week and I mean, we went all over the place.

Like I think I said it during the episode at one point, but like having another podcaster on was great because,

I mean, definitely no shortage of things to talk about.

We talked quite a bit about Emery's PCT through hike that he did

in 2017. We talk a little bit at the beginning about how he not only backpacks, but he actually

backpack hunts, which is something I know absolutely nothing about. And to be honest, I never even

really realized that was a thing. So that was really cool to hear about.

And then we spent a lot of the time just talking about podcasting in this kind of niche that we both exist in.

And I don't know, I feel like if you listen to Emory's show, you're going to get to hear a lot of kind of the behind the scene stuff about byland.
