About Backpacker Radio

From the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail and everything in between, Backpacker Radio explores the wonderful, weird world of thru-hiking and long-distance backpacking. Join Zach "Badger" Davis and rotating co-hosts Double Dip, Sassafras, SOS, and Jabba for stories from the trail, interviews with unforgettable hikers, gear talk, backpacking advice, and spirited discussions about all-you-can-eat buffets. Equal parts practical advice and deeply questionable tangents, brought to you by The Trek.
