Walking and Talking: An Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike
Ryan Schlosser
In 2020, I got to live out my thru-hiking dream, but I'm only one of thousands of people who hikes on the Appalachian Trail - what are their stories? That's wha...
Join Glen and I on this special, rare episode of Walking and Talking! Glen is a an "engineer, entrepreneur, author, sought-after speaker, and dishwasher/philanthropist." In 1998 he founded Gossamer Gear. He's humble, funny, and dedicated. *I apolgize for the poor audio quality on my mic. I've been out of the podcast game for awhile so I had my settings messed up. Thankfully, Glen is crisp and clear - he's more intersting to listen to anyway. Glen's book Take Less. Do More: Surprising Life Lessons in Generosity. Gratitude, and Curiosty from an Ultralight Backpacker is available on April 16th. Find it at the links below. All profits on the book will be donated to the Pacific Crest Trail Association. https://bookshop.org/p/books/take-less-do-more-surprising-life-lessons-in-generosity-gratitude-and-curiosity-from-an-ultralight-backpacker-glen-van-peski/20974984 https://www.porchlightbooks.com/product/take-less.-do-more.-surprising-life-lessons-in-generosity-gratitude-and-curiosity-from-an-ultralig--glen-van-peski/isbn/9781637632895 https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/book/9781637632895 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/take-less-do-more-glen-van-peski/1144473893;jsessionid=1511F01807AFAF67447724E441D107B0.prodny_store01-atgap04 https://www.amazon.com/Take-Less-More-Surprising-Generosity/dp/1637632894 Visit Glen's website to learn more https://www.glenvanpeski.com/

Lightshow!
Lightshow and I met two weeks into my thru-hike when the world was shutting down due to COVID. He completed the southern half of the AT last year. This year he plans to start at Katahdin and head south. He joins me this week to talk about his unique approach to hiking the trail, why you should take the blue-blazes, his time working at Standing Bear Farm, and so much more! Lots of love and lessons in this one. Connect with Walking and Talking!

Hey everyone! My mom, Mary Schlosser, joins me this week to reminisce about her experience with the AT in 2020. No intro or outro today. Audacity keeps crashing whenever I try to edit, so it’s all interview this time around. Join us for a conversation about putting on a brave face, learning lessons from the woods, eating cold oatmeal, apple cider festivals, and so much more!

One-Year Anniversary & The Return of Shotgun
On this one-year anniversary episode I’m joined again by Chase Bontemps (Shotgun). Shotgun is a 23 year-old West Virginia University grad who now works as a civil engineer in Washington DC. He’s one of my best friends from the trail and we hiked the northern half together. Today’s episode is a relaxed conversation in which we reflect on the one-year anniversary of our start dates. If you’d like to hear Shotgun’s backstory, I recommend first listening to episodes 11 and 19. If you’ve already heard those episodes, or if you just want to dive into this episode, welcome aboard! **I was riddled with technical difficulties while recording and editing this episode. I tried my best to make everything sound as normal as possible Thank you to everyone who has listened to the show over this past year! You all rock! Connect with Walking and Talking!
