About this episode

Steve shares his experiences from days 31-34 of his Appalachian Trail hike, reflecting on life in the woods and connections made along the way.

Into month two with the miles increasing, I'm truly living in the woods now. Life seems to have become more feral, and the simplicity of my life agrees with my temperament right now. My loneliness seems to have gone away as I'm spending more time with others, and this week we hear from Bright Spot and Wolf, who I met along the way. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year.
