Thru hiker and founder of Aardwolf Gear Co., Nate "Good Cat" Katz drops into the studio to talk trail, specifically the Colorado Trail, with Doc. Settle in and buckle up as Good Cat goes deep on all things CT, including discussions of water bottle sleeves, 40-mile limps, giardia, baby wipe etiquette, grifting, professional hitching, SASH-ers, the Dirtbag Dining Guide, resupply strategies, don't-miss activities on the CT, and the glorious 487 miles from Denver to Durango. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
