Campfires and Catholes

Brian Galyon from Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures is the quintessential truck camper, adventurer, fisherman, hiker, and backpacker. He is also one of the best resources for living a nomadic lifestyle as he has lived out of his truck full time for 7-plus years. Along the way, he has learned how to be self-sustaining and along with his Dog Sierra get the most out of a simple life. We are very excited to talk with him and find out what his plans are for the future now that he has a plot of land to homestead in both Colorado and Arizona.

No guests this week, however, we are going to talk about our different recent thru-hike trips. Brian will talk about his section hike of the Appalachian Trail and we will both talk about our recent Adventure Hiking Trail Hike. This should be a great discussion as THG has not attempted a long hike in a very long time. You won't want to miss it.

THG first met Phillip while out training for Mt. Elbert. He and his good friend Elton were walking along the trail as THG was sitting on a log gasping for the last bit of oxygen he could inhale and the trio struck up a conversation. Turns out, they were training for the same exact hike! We exchanged contact info and we have been following Phillip ever since. His Instagram channel, An Adventurous Life is filled with all kinds of Cycling, Hiking, and many other adventures. He is really an inspirational guy and a great friend of the show. Make sure you follow him on IG at this link: https://www.instagram.com/an_adventurous_life_/ and tell him we sent you. Don't miss this interesting discussion

We first met Mark at the last Indiana Outdoor Youtuber Meetup. That does not mean we did not know him before that. We have been watching his expeditions with his son Kaden or "Catfish" for a very long time. Mark and Kaden share our love of nature and they have been to many places in and out of Indiana. We are very excited to learn more about them and their channel.

Adventure Seeker (aka William Martin) is a channel that we have been watching for years. William is a multi-sport, lover of the outdoors who makes almost full-length documentaries of his adventures. He has hiked the CDT, Kayaked on the Mississippi, Scuba Dived in Florida, and just recently completed a 48-state Fat Bike bike packing adventure. You can tell he loves physical activity and being in the outdoors and that makes us want to have a great discussion with him. If you get a chance, please go over to his Youtube Channel and give him a sub. He is very close to 5K and it would be awesome if our audience could help him pass that milestone. Here is the link to his channel:   / @adventureseeker

Tony is a fellow Hoosier and Lover of the Outdoors. We met him at one of our Youtuber meetups and he is a very interesting character. His main focus is car or "Cadillac" camping and he recently bought an old Ambulance to fix up for his new adventure rig. We are happy to call him a friend and he has worn many hats over the years. Just a very interesting dude. Join us as we dive into all the many facets of his outdoor experience.

We first met Andy online watching his awesome backpacking videos that have to do with the Appalachian Trail and other awesome areas to hike around Georgia. We finally got a chance to meet up with him in person at the Red River Gorge in  Kentucky. Since then, we have been huge fans of his videos. Now we get to have an online discussion with him about all kinds of outdoor subjects. We hope you will join us as we do.

We are very excited to have a discussion with Nick Harrington of the Smokeybeesnatural Channel. One day while we were perusing Youtube, we just happened to come across one of his videos and the storytelling and the cinematography really blew us away. You can tell by the way he tells the stories of his adventures, that he has a love of the outdoors and that is okay in our book. On top of that, he happens to also be a beekeeper. If you get a chance to go over and check out his channel you won't be disappointed. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Smokeybeesnatural Tell him C and C sent you.

We have known Lance for many years now and have shared many campfires with him. His videos are top-notch with regard to content and cinematography and he always does a great job explaining his adventures as well as the cool new gear he uses. We thought it only fitting to have our friend on our Livestream so we can share his love of the outdoors with others. If you have a chance, go check out his channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/@OutLan and subscribe, leave him a comment, and tell him campfires and catholes sent you. This should be a great discussion with Lance

Probably one of the nicest, most genuine guys in the Backpacking community is Jason Waugh of Backpacking with Jason. We have had the pleasure of sharing a few campfires with this guy and so it is only fitting that we get him on our stream/podcast to have a great time getting to know more about him. If you would like to check out his channel on Youtube you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/c/BackpackingWithJason  Go give him a sub and tell him Campfires and Catholes sent you. Also, check out some of his videos as he goes to some awesome places in and out of Kentucky
