    Episode 242 - Devil in a day with Josh Gorsch from Ursa's Compass
    Oct 16 2026
    Welcome to episode 242! This week, Josh Gorsch from Ursa’s Compass Guiding joins us to talk about his experience taking on the Devil in a Day! Josh shares the highs, the struggles, and the moments that tested him along the way—and why, sometimes, the best thing you can do is hike your own hike and enjoy your time on the trail. We also dive into a rescue on Sugarloaf Mountain, the absolutely wild story of a man walking from Chile to England on foot, and more debate surrounding the Windham Mountain Club’s plans for a luxury hotel.

    Episode 241 - The Northville Placid Trail with James O'Boyle
    Oct 9 2026
    Welcome to episode 241! This week, James O’Boyle joins us to share his nine-day adventure on the Northville-Placid Trail in the Adirondacks! James takes us through the highs, the lows, the gear that helped get him through, and the struggles that ultimately made him stronger on the trail. We also talk about what makes this challenging 135-mile trek such a memorable experience. We also chat about a moose that was tranquilized in Troy before ultimately having to be euthanized, AI once again giving hikers questionable advice, and a recall involving one of our favorite things on the planet… Stewart’s ice cream!

    Welcome to episode 240! This week, Rob Potter joins us after completing an incredible 560-mile thru-hike of the Finger Lakes Trail! Rob shares what inspired him to take on this adventure, the challenges and surprises he encountered along the way, and what makes the Finger Lakes Trail so different from other long-distance hiking trails. We also dive into the 2026 Summit Steward statistics, discuss the ongoing fight over the Roadless Rule, and wrap things up with the story of a hiker who apparently needed to hear the same advice three times before getting the message.
