“It needs more variety. Different trails. Bikepacking. Something. All the stories and comments are redundant from years prior. If you’ve heard one season, you’ve heard them all.”

“I hope one day I’ll be able to embark on a long distance thru hike. In the meantime I’m enjoying my short stints outside and doing a lot of research. This pod is a great resource to hear a wide variety of experiences. It’s quelling some of my fears (ie. town resupplies, hitching) and giving great...”Read full review »

“I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Great content, great host chemistry, solid production—Davos’ Fingers is everything you want in a ASOIAF podcast. I’m on my first read in the books and they make the experience more enjoyable.”

“I’m here, training for the AT in India, and this has been a godsend of stories and information that will help in my thru-hike attempt starting in April 2020. I’m putting together gear lists on my phone as I listen to The Trek’s correspondents doing the same and reviewing their’s. Meal planning...”Read full review »

“Some reports are interesting, but a lot of correspondents ramble on way too long. And there’s nothing like getting scolded by a SJW hiker who thinks ranting is persuasion.”

“Surprised by the 5-star reviews. I love the concept of the show; would love to see it produced and tightened up to clean up the massive repetition among the thru-hikers’ responses. Was alarmed by the Canadian woman who boasted of forcing her way into a strangers’ car. I get why she thinks it’s...”Read full review »

“I come from years of trail running and spending a lot of time on trails. I’ve gotten interested in doing a multi day hike or fastpack which I’ve done before, so this was great for information.
