#96 - Recapping the PCT With Jon "Roadrunner" Frankson

Text the show!I started following Jon’s journey on the PCT before the PCT even happened for him. Once he got on the trail, I enjoyed every moment of his journey via social media.  He crushed miles early on, braved the snow in the Sierra, and ultimately arrived at the Northern Terminus on his own terms.Show Notes and LinksIntroductionsJon’s backpacking backstoryHow the PCT became a realityHow the beginning of the trail feltWhen reality sets in on the PCTHiking the desertDealing with and addressing “fear-mongering”Finding and learning your limitsDecision-making processAddressing the snow in the SierraWhy the PCT and backpacking is so important to JonDealing with emotions on the trailNearing the end of the trailWhat it means to “miss” the trailLife after the trailLessons learned from the PCTHow daily routing dictates gear selectionJon’s journey with photography while hikingPlans for follow-on trailsClosing thoughtsHow to follow Jon onlinehttps://www.instagram.com/jonathonfranksonSupport the showThanks for listening!  Check out the links below to learn more, connect, and support the show.www.byland.coJoin the newsletterBeginner backpacking course Support the show [email protected]
