“Loved this pod cast so much. I hated for it to end. Cried tears of joy at end of the trail. Amazingly talented producer and Brass was such a humble and inspiring hiker. Many more happy trails to you!”

Julia has a knack of weeding through audio recordings that Benjamin...”Read full review »

“Enjoying this podcast a lot. I go on 3-4 day backpacking trips 2 times a year. As someone who aspires to do a long hike, once life allows, its insightful to follow Benjamin’s quest. Hope this attempt turns into a completed quest. Keep it up Ben and Julia.”

“Tougher to softer!! Brilliant.
Happened to me on my PCT hike but I never thought of it that way!!
This podcast takes me right back to the trail every time I listen.
I could see the big pot!!! I could also hear all of the hikers talking about it.
Cracked me up!
Can’t wait till the next podcast!”

“I’m really enjoying listening to this portrayal of life on the trail. I have, I think a rather romantic idea of what a thru hike would be like, and Ben brings reality to that. It’s great to see him adapt and adjust. I look forward to more episodes!”
