FarOut Chief Revenue Officer (and accomplished thru hiker) Whitney "Allgood" LaRuffa joins Doc in the studio to talk trail and some serious Type II (III?!) Fun. Settle in and buckle up as Allgood talks about his recent career move to FarOut, as well the misery he experienced on the Idaho Wilderness Trail. Along the way, you'll hear about postholing over blow-downs, Princess Cheezy, Tattoo Joe, Buttercup, Snorkel, checking boxes, steamy grizzly scat, muddy water chugging, food rationing, snake flinging, smoke-filled views, some of Allgood's very best smart decisions. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
