Jester and Austin are back to look into the creative process for hiking, filming, and storytelling. Over the last few years, it has become more and more popular to film your hikes and share over on YouTube, and many hikers are posting daily while on their journeys.

Austin likes to hike and paddle, film while out there, and then when he's back home, create a story. And you can tell in his videos he puts in a lot of time and effort to make sure things are just right! Thanks for listening and Happy Section Hiking!

Previous guest of the podcast, Jennifer Browndorf (Low Gear), is back with Jester to share all about her section hike completion of the 1175-mile Mountains To Sea Trail. The MST starts at Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and ends on the outer banks on the tallest living sand dune at Jockey's Ridge State Park. Jennifer loved the planning and logistics aspect of her section hike on the MST as much as the hiking. She wanted to make sure she got in the miles but also take advantage of seeing all the sights, food stops, trail angels, shuttle drivers, and services each segment of the MST had to offer!
