In this episode, Courtney talks with Garrett "Jive Turkey" Tandy for a check in after his most recent thru hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. They talk about the different experiences of forest and desert hiking, the challenges of a hiking season full of fires and trail closures and he answers the question: What is it like to re-enter the Matrix?"
