Tyler Fox, otherwise known on-trail as Mac, is constantly on some sort of adventure. If it's not on the PCT or the CDT, he's bike packing the AZT or hiking in Tasmania. He's always got something cool on the go. I guess you have to live that life if you have a successful adventure travel blog! Eoin catches up with Tyler while he is planning his Thru-Bike of the AZT.

Rue McKenrick is a professional backpacker from the USA and is the founder of the American Perimeter Trail - a trail-in-progress that circumnavigates the USA. The project is much more than a hiking trail as it is an effort to create a conservation corridor around the country. While it currently takes in existing footbeds from other trails such as the AT and the PCT, this is very much a new trail. Eoin speaks to Rue as he is taking a much needed break from actually walking the 12k+ miles to talk about his hiking career and his plans for the APT.
