Continental Divide Trail thru-hiker & backpacker Katie Jackson or "Double Dip" (as she's known on trail) joins us to talk about her thru-hiking adventure. She was part of our 2024 Trail Team and gives so much great insight on the trail and long-distance hiking in general. In this episode, you'll learn about: 1. The #1 characteristic needed to hike this 3,000 mile trail successfully 2. The advice NOT to take from hikers who have gone before you 3. The freeze dried meal that changed her life (and could change yours too!) 4. Tips on balancing your wants and needs in a trail family - & so much more!
