#1 | Sketchy Situations, Mental Challenges, and Highlights of the Appalachian Trail with Cameron Smyk

Trail Tales - Thru-Hiking & Backpacking - A podcast by Kyle Hates Hiking

In the inaugural episode of Trail Tales, I talk with my good friend and fellow Appalachian Trail thru-hiker Cameron Smyk. We discuss everything from some of his sketchy hitch-hikes into town, to the mental endurance necessary to complete a 2200 mile trek. To top it off, we get into some of Cameron's gear, and why he plans on bringing a different set up on his next thru-hike.  Like what you hear? Want to talk some smack?
