Episode #07 - Several Hundred Zeroes Later

A lot has changed since early March, far more than any of us would have anticipated. After leaving Georgia injured, sick, and disheartened, Ryan decided to head back to finish off the state and leave on much better terms. We aren't sure what the future holds; more section hiking or another thru-hike attempt are all on the table. For now, the small accomplishment of finishing the first state was a much-needed mindset recalibration.

Episode #05 - Welcome Home

Ryan and Steve catch up one last time before Ryan sets out on his journey. He shares thoughts the night before the hike and then twice on day 1 at two big moments. Many more miles (and rain) to come.

Episode #04 - The Final Countdown

On the last show before the start of the hike, Ryan and Steve discuss updates on gear, last minute feelings, and the logistics of the show moving forward in the hike. While the last six months before the hike have proved to be challenging for preparation, it was probably the best option there was. With many other hikers already heading north towards Maine, Ryan is eager to get started.

Episode #03 - Concerns, expectations, and fears.

Ryan and Steve discuss the concerns, expectations, and fears that come along with attempting a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. It is always interesting hearing the concerns of friends and family versus those of fellow hikers. Ryan shares his "Frequently Asked Questions" about the hike from those on both sides of the pond. Most importantly, what about fears? Steve asks what things are keeping Ryan awake at night with the fast-approaching start date at Springer Moutain. Finally, what role will this hike play in the lifelong journey of mental health?

Episode #02 - Working out the gear

Ryan and Steve discuss the working gear list for the hike, everything from the big three to toe socks. As ironic as it might be, Ryan has been away from his gear for the last six months abroad. With this in mind, there will be a mixture of tested older gear and brand new gear all coming together for the first day at Springer Mountain in just a few weeks. Taking a page from Bruce "RTK" Matson's book, there will even be a "winter supplement" for the first section of the hike until Ryan gets to his home state of Virginia.

Episode #01 - Getting it all together

In the first episode of Hiking Radio Network's new show, Steve chats with Ryan Hopkins about his upcoming AT thru-hike. They discuss his trail name, the logistics of both hiking and putting together the podcast, as well as Ryan's life-long search for optimal mental health. This show will eventually be all Ryan, as he records his experiences out on the trail. These early episodes will track his approach to hiking, his gear selections, the things he's NOT looking forward to and the things that he can't wait to see. We hope that you'll want to join us on this journey as we find out what it is really like out on the trail when the cameras aren't rolling.
