I received a couple DM's on Instagram asking if I could cover how the heck to thru hike with a full time job...so here it is! Today I'll be covering the various trails around the country that one can feasibly thru hike (multi day backpack) while still maintaining their job.   

Because this was recorded as a Youtube livestream, stick around until the end because there was some great questions in the chat! 

I hear it will be great weather the next time you backpack if you subscribe to my Youtube channel and podcast ;)
