Thru hiker and founder of Trail Goods Co. Luke "Bus" Pearsall drops in for studio time with Doc to talk trail and the highs and lows of getting his company off the ground. Settle in and buckle up as Bus engages in a wide-ranging discussion of his eclectic past and the trail he followed to his current camp spot. Bus shares his thoughts on poor trail names, twice-tasted garlic pizza, backcountry charcuterie, South American kidnappings, Hiker Trash adjacency, signature meals, sauce guys, and his passion for food and feeding Hiker Trash. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
