Gloriously Ruined - Greg "Chudy" Lester (Part I)

What this episode covers

Thru hiker and current LASHer Greg "Chudy" Lester sits down with Doc to discuss his 1992 thru hike of the AT, his 2022 Flip Flop of the PCT, and his current LASH of the CDT. Settle in and buckle up as Chudy shares his experiences, including talk of aspirational trail names, worthless guidebooks, strip maps, the hardest part of returning to civilized life, Creed, Sharky & Frosty, Suffer Twice, grizzlies, the value of a good scoop, and just how easy it is to fall back into it 30 years later. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
