Hiker Sessions - "RTK"

In this episode we were joined by Bruce Matson, or “RTK” as he is known on the trail. Bruce is an avid hiker with very positive energy and passion for anything he sets out to accomplish. Whether it’s running marathons, writing books, building a successful law practice, or finishing his 2018 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, Bruce has a competitive spirit that has served him well throughout his life.We sit down to discuss his memories of his 2018 AT thru-hike and one of his most popular books: Platinum-Blazing the Appalachian Trail: How to Thru-hike in 3-Star Luxury. I hope you enjoy the episode.Link to RTK's podcast of his 2018 AT thru-hike: https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/show/returning-to-katahdin-an-appalachian-trail-dream/Link to Platinum-Blazing the Appalachian Trail: How to Thru-hike in 3-Star Luxury: https://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Blazing-Appalachian-Trail-Thru-hike-3-Star/dp/0578471167Link to Woods Hole Weekend: https://www.hikingradionetwork.com/p/woods-hole-weekend/#at2024 #at2025 #backpacking #atnobo2024 #atnobo2025 #thruhiking #atnobo @FarOutguides #hike #hiking @senchidesigns #originalmaine @TheTrek #ThruHiker #ATClassof2024 #ATClassof2025 #baxterstatepark #katahdin #mtwashington #senchidesigns @HyperliteMountainGear #100milewilderness #sloggyhikes #hikersessions #100milewilderness #rtk #woodsholehostel #woodsholeweekend #platinumblazing
