Shaina (Stumbles) completed a northbound thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2021. She was our first PCT guest on the podcast, and it was a blast to pick her brain while we prepare for our own attempt at the PCT in 2021. Our conversations consisted of topics including, how social media creates an unrealistic picture of thru hiking, how taking time off trail kills momentum, and how a thru hike gives you perspective on a more minimalist lifestyle.
