We are once again joined by Backpacker Radio\'s most invasive species, otherwise known as The Real Hiking Viking.\\xa0We hear all about his two month long stint on the Jordan Trail.\\xa0He tells us all about this trek, the region, its people, the food, and the experience altogether.\\xa0We also chat about what went wrong on his Long Trail winter thru-hike attempt, and how he opted to swallow his pride instead of putting his life at risk. I briefly touch on thru-hiking with your dog as part of today\'s Trek Propaganda, and we close out the show with a triple crown of new gear that we\'re excited to test.\\xa0\\xa0
