I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Keith Foskett, also known as Fozzie (that's his trail name). I've read two and a half of his hiking books (I'm in the middle of one right now), and they were one of the things that helped me to get through this last lockdown—it was like having an armchair adventure.
If you've ever wondered about hiking the Camino de Santiago, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail, or the Continental Divide Trail, this episode is for you. We talk about the differences between the trails, what kind of preparation you need to do, and how hiking these long-distance trails can change your life.
About Keith
Keith Foskett has hiked over 12,000 miles in recent years and written four books about his adventures, and contributes to various outdoor publications.
