0:00.0	I'll write you guys. This is going to be a long run episode of me in Stephen Littlewood,
0:06.4	who is a Marine who wrote a great book called When Good Trails Go Bad. I've been following
0:12.3	him on social media about this book release. I was intrigued, bought a copy of the book
0:18.7	early and read it and loved it. I think it's got a lot of really important things that we
0:25.6	should know or at least think about before we go on a run. It's not super, super long or
0:32.4	complicated. It's pretty straightforward, but I think it's something that anybody that does
0:36.4	things in remote areas by themselves should read, because you never know when some little
0:42.4	piece of knowledge from this book could come into play and help save your life. He didn't give
0:48.0	me anything in exchange for the interview and I actually paid full price for the book, although
0:52.7	he did give me some books to give away to you guys, which will come up on the show from time to time.
0:57.3	So with that in mind, this episode is also brought to you by our friends at UKAN. Next level

1:09.9	without a lot of sugar in it. You don't bonk as much and they're really easy to put down. Our good
1:16.5	friend Eric Wiggenstein, the race director of the Eagle Up Altra and the head of UR Altra
1:24.5	from Brimstone Racing. He also puts on Tuskazor, Whispering Grace, a whole bunch of other races.
1:28.9	Anyway, he recently has been using UKAN and I talked to him yesterday and he told me that I
1:36.4	could see anything about it. So if he suits me, that's on him, just that it's kind of changed his
1:42.0	training. That this stuff is amazing and that he's selling it and his bike stolen people are
1:46.2	buying it and it's just, it's really, really good. They have great energy gels, energy powder,
1:51.4	energy bars. They have starter packs where you can try lots of different stuff. There's a really
1:57.6	good granola. There's an almond butter, hydrate powder and then you can, you know, if you go on
2:04.5	their website, they have bundles, you know, where you can try like a bunch of different things.
