David "Remy" and Sally Ann "Beacon" Mertens sit down with Doc in the studio to talk about their 2025 thru hike of the Appalachian Trail with their four kids aged 9, 11, 14, and 15. Settle in and buckle up as Remy and Beacon discuss the Six Pack's evolution across 2,200 miles, a mouse in a bear box, the value of suffering well, a hike five years in the planning, the process of gearing up six hikers, creative hitch strategies, and the value of five months of family trail bonding. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
