The four areas covered are the physical, the environmental, the social, and the intrapersonal (or within) aspects of a thru-hike. We discuss the hardships and the wonderful moments we experienced along the way, the burdens or blessings they placed on us, and what we recommend for upcoming hikers to “equip” themselves with before and during their hikes.Created and hosted by Yeti Legs and Basecamp (aka Wesley and Marie Black)Intro track created by Ryan GeeOutro track created by Bradley BlackEmail: [email protected]: @theginger_and_thejoyYouTube: @wesleyandmarieblack6595TikTok: @theginger_and_thejoyFacebook: @wesley.a.black.3Trek Blog: Wesley BlackLinktree: @thegingerandthejoy
