Nicholas thruhiked or LASHed for three consecutive hiking seasons and since then has settled down to have a family in Maine. He's hiked the AT, PCT, and a portion of the CDT. 

I started following Nicholas for his simple beginner’s film photography tricks! On this episode we’ll be chatting about film photography during a thruhike, completing three thruhikes in three years, and how your thoughts about thruhiking change over time (especially after having a kid!).
