Join us, Wesley "Yeti Legs" and Marie "Basecamp" Black on the YETI WALKS INTO BASECAMP: Talking. Thru. Hiking. Podcast, where we discuss all things in the wonderful world of hiking. Each episode will cover various hiking topics, the 181 days we spent on the PCT, interviews with fellow hikers/trail angels, or even chats with gear junkies.
We are a married couple who love hiking and ultra running. In 2022, we sold everything to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with a continuous footpath, followed by completing the TMB. Since then, we've hiked even more long trails. Welcome!

In This Episode: Today's episode continues our conversation with Bethany "Fidgit" Hughes, a long-time female thru-hiker. She shares a bit more about her transcontinental venture including encounters with wild dogs, locals, and doing so as a woman. IMPORTANTLY, we cover the representation of women in the hiking/outdoors community, and what it looks like being a responsible visitor to new places.
Thanks again to Fidgit for sharing your stories!
