Jacob Younger is the Co-Founder of the outdoor gear company, Riggin’ It Gear. Perhaps no one is a better fit for starting their own gear company, as Jacob is not only an Engineer graduate from Messiah College (‘17), but also someone who thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2019, where he used mostly his own homemade gear. In this episode, Nick and Cole talk with Jacob about endurance challenges, the ultralight backpacking school of thought, and the road ahead for Riggin’ It Gear.
