Gear nerd and AT thru hiker, Eliott "Double D" Dick sits down with Doc in the studio to talk trail and gear. Settle in and buckle up as Double D discusses multi-use items, fresh wheels, Vegas, Dumpling, work for stays, the Knobstone and Ozark trails, going up to go down, the French toast at the Mountain Harbor hostel, trail culture, taking things one day at a time, caloric density, just in case socks, spicing it up on the trail, and the importance of appreciating the journey. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
