Find out the new definition of Pink Blazing! We actually talk about gear...well, how to shop for it at least. We take a call from Mr. T, some guy wears CROCS, Pox bitches about traffic, and Puss "raps"

In this week's episode Pox spills a Bloody Mary into the laptop, Puss predicts a teen pregnancy, Pox eats fancy-pants barbecue, someone scroggs-up the Hubba-Hubba, and Puss is asked "Was that you or me?"  

Of course, somewhere in there we discuss the Appalachian Trail and the Thru-Hikers who hike it. Ahhhh!

Set up in the MoJoe's Coffeehouse parking lot in Damascus, VA we sit down with 5 different Thru-Hikers to discuss their experiences on the Appalachian Trail. First up is Chipmunk, the 14 year-old attempting to become the youngest solo thru-hiker. Then we speak with Big Yankee, a 2013 Northbounder about his interesting experience in Gatlinburg, TN. Pox reunites with fellow 1998 thru-hiker Little Mac, he tells us about what it was like to climb Katahdin with Earl Schaffer. 2013 NOBO "Hey Whitey"and his trusty pooch Moose sit down with us to talk about the magical things that can happen to you out on the trail. We finish with a quick goofy interview with "Giggle Fitz" right before we all line up to walk in the Hiker Parade through town.

Our conversation with 9-time Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Baltimore Jack continues. We take a phone call, discuss "Assholic Behavior", and the best way to pack-out 16 pounds of lasagna.

Baltimore Jack Tarlin sits down to speak with us in the historic Mountain Crossings outfitter at Neels Gap along the Appalachian Trail. Jack tells us about his life on the Trail since his first attempt at a Thru-Hike in 1995...and his 9 completed thru-hikes since then. Pox & Puss regale Jack with stories about the first times they met him. We also discuss the Monsoon of 2003, Ghostbusters, Olive Oyl, and...of course...The Doyle Hotel.

The White Mountains: Explained, Pox cleans up the banks of the mighty Nolichucky one Doritos bag at a time, "the girl with the red balloon" haunts our dreams, the computer shuts down 3 times, we run out of hard drive space, and 20 minutes of the best shit we have ever done vanishes in one of the computer meltdowns. Meh.         Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Podcast
