This week Pox & Puss discuss: The stuff in your pack
Have you ever carried a piece of gear that was teetering on the edge of "unusable"?
Have you carried something in your pack that served no practical purpose? Did it have sentimental value?
Have you ever carried something that you didn't know was in your pack? A rock....or a canned ham?

We have a conversation with 2014 Northbounder, Zachsquatch. He tells us about an interesting time he had on trail with a sword-wielding Russian, he describes the average day in the life of an iPhone on the Appalachian Trail, and he has a close encounter with a horse.

ATTENTION! Thru-Hikers past and present!
Be sure to visit the Thru-Hiker Registry at http://www.appalachiantrials.com/thru-hiker-registry/
This makes it much easier to keep in touch with your Trail Friends once you've re-entered "The Real World" and you start using your "Real Names".

OK...put on your Carolina Panthers "Basketball Jersey", break out your pie server, and get ready for Episode #39 - "Zachsquatch & The Stuff In Your Pack" !!!


Next Episode:
We've received a few voicemails about snakes...so let's talk about your Snake Stories!
Please leave us a voicemail by calling 828-394-4526
Thank you so much for all of your calls, they really help the show!

A simple joke on TV took Pox down a rabbit hole of Appalachian Trail information websites.

Wether you're looking for gear reviews, want to read some trail journals, or you need to see how one turns a Coca-Cola can into an alcohol stove, there is almost too much information out there!

We discuss the sites (or books in Pox's case) we used before setting out on our Thru-Hikes.

Zach Davis, the author of Appalachian Trials, joins us to talk about his site: AppalachianTrials.com

We also sift through the online B.S. to bring you some interesting Appalachian Trail stories from around the inter-webs.

Finally, we listen to some of your voicemails...and Pox takes some friendly criticisim.

Finally back from vacation!
Ice Cold is here to teach us all how NOT to behave in a hostel.
Pox finally tells the story of how he was kicked out of North Adams.
Puss washes her hair in the sink of every hut in the Whites.
And we set a record for how long we can NOT talk about the Appalachian Trail on an Appalachian Trail podcast.

Do you like to watch?
We hope you do.
