Friend of the show Nick Gagnon set out to hike the appalachian trail earlier this year!  Many listeners will remember us mentioning both his start and completion in quick news during previous episodes but only patreon supporters knew that I interviewed him back in October! It was great catching up with our Canadian friend and learning about his months long adventure where he perservered through barriers such as weather, overpacking, assault, animals, a couple thousand miles, and a whole lot of elevation. Learn about terms like trail magic, silk blazing, pack shakedown, as well as how he felt about each state that he traveled through. We cover a lot in this interview but check out his Instagram to watch his 16 part highlights where he documented his whole trip. 0:00 – 3:20 – Intro 3:20 – 10:36 – Quick News 10:36 – 11:15 – Content Preface 11:15 - 1:35:27 - Nick Gagnon Interview 1:35:27 - End – Outro Next episode will either be a Deka World Championships interview or a Spartan World Championship interview! ____ News Stories: Vote for OCR Buddy's Community Choice Awards Dave Robinson Engaged Ariana Scalfo's Baby 48 Hour Dreadmill Event Codispoti Fundraiser for London Marathon Deka Fit Male Team Record Deka Fit Female Team Record Deka Fit World Championship Podium: Men and Women Deka Mile World Championship Podium: Men and Women Baseball Interview Secret Link Reverse Roles Secret Link Drone Catch Secret Link Cruise Alone Secret Link Still Finish Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 151.
