Episode #01 - Getting it all together

  • Summary

  • In the first episode of Hiking Radio Network's new show, Steve chats with Ryan Hopkins about his upcoming AT thru-hike. They discuss his trail name, the logistics of both hiking and putting together the podcast, as well as Ryan's life-long search for optimal mental health.

    This show will eventually be all Ryan, as he records his experiences out on the trail. These early episodes will track his approach to hiking, his gear selections, the things he's NOT looking forward to and the things that he can't wait to see.

    We hope that you'll want to join us on this journey as we find out what it is really like out on the trail when the cameras aren't rolling.

He doesn't hike the AT

Not looking far into this guide I thought the reason for so few episodes was that he had just started since it is spring 2023. I was hoping to be able to follow along in real time with a hiker and get engaged in the story and the people he meets along the way. The story leading upto this hike was good. But, since he only has 1 or 2 episodes on the trail before getting hurt and having to stop I felt disappointed. I understand these things happen but I wouldn't have posted the "series" after I got back. He didn't hike the AT but a few miles and even with the rain and hard times he experienced in the beginning no outcome, not even a return to the trail when he was healed for a follow up try. This was just a waste, in my opinion, of my time. I wish him well and hopefully he tries again. If he did no info on that attempt is in the show notes.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
