Join us in our latest episode as Devin walks through the history and experience of walking the trail, and why Oman should be next ... | 29m 13s | ||||||
| 10/23/25 |  Trail Tech Hacks: Birding with Merlin | We are starting a new segment to the podcast, called Trail Tech Hacks - apps and/or tech that we use on the trail to make the journey a little easier or more enjoyable. We are starting with one of our favorite trail apps - the Merlin birding app from Cornell Labs. How many times have you been on a trail and heard a bird sound, and wondered... what the hell is that?! The last thing you want to carry on the hike is a birding manual. Luckily, the Merlin app makes identifying, and saving, b... | 26m 19s | ||||||
| 8/30/25 |  The Great Glen Way | We are back from our 7th Long Ways hike! And this time we come full circle to where we began in 2019... Scotland! One of our favorite hiking destinations, not only because of the amazing scenery, but also the fact that the Scottish are fantastic hosts! We actually started this trail in 2019 when, for the first time, our trio hiked the West Highland Way. In this episode we compare the two trails, our experiences along the GGW (spoiler... it was amazing), and of course, the big questions... how... | 39m 36s | ||||||

We talked to Sadie about what it’s like to hike Camino, the transformational nature of the trail, and why it set her on the path to hike a new pilgrimage trail ... | 35m 36s | ||||||

| 3/24/25 |  Guest Episode: The Colorado Trail with Devin | When he was 18 years old, our co-host, Devin, did something incredibly brave and stupid: he decided to hike across Colorado for a month with nothing but three high school friends, a lot of ramen and mac and cheese, and the invincibility that comes with being a teenager. He almost made it all the way, too. Today, Michael interviews Devin about hiking the Colorado Trail, why it set him on the path to hiking a long trial every year today, and hard-learned tips for the trail.

| 12/16/24 |  The Lycian Way | This fall we set out on our latest Long Ways hike - this time along the Lycian Way (East), just south of Antalya Turkey.
