You've decided you want to start hiking, camping or backpacking but you're having trouble finding the best place to start. In this episode I talk about what types of public lands, in my opinion, are best. Recently I had talked about Pennsylvania's public lands and I felt that conversation got a little away from my initial topic. So I tried to stay more on topic in this one.

This week I talk about Hypnagogia, you know that fun experience you have when you transition between wakefulness and sleep. It can cause some interesting hallucinations when you're camping.

Welcome to episode 2 of The Hike Files Podcast. This week I talk about a seemingly growing, and concerning trend of people ignoring what should be common sense guidelines while outdoors - like not petting wild bison. I look at some of the differences between three of the more popular Pennsylvania public lands - State Game Lands, State Forests and State Parks. Some kayak permitting information and a bigfoot warning issued by a Nevada County Sheriff's Office.
