Like A Bigfoot

This week we welcome Jennifer Mabus to the show! Jennifer is a backpacker out of Washington and is preparing to take on the epic challenge of hiking the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail. She also writes a fantastic blog at www.thewhimsicalwoman.com. I was so excited to hear her story and preparation. I'm a nerd about all things thru-hiking (although I've never thru-hiked myself). The stories, adventures, and life-changing experiences people have after one of these huge quests always keep me on the edge of my seat. In this episode we talk about Jennifer's journey; how did she start backpacking, what is driving her to chase such a lofty goal, what obstacles is she expecting and how is she preparing herself physically, mentally, and emotionally for half a year in the woods? I hope you guys enjoy the episode! If you haven't delved much into the world of long distance backpacking, I would highly suggest checking out some documentaries or books just to give you some perspective on what these adventures really
