Summary: Here is the link to the podcast for today: Interview with Kirk Sinclair Here are the show notes: 1) Thanks for the compliments -- Dain, Kim, Tony and others on atbackpacking.com, plus the ones on iTunes which is at 16 comments. Glad you've enjoyed the podcasts. 2) Q - How much water do you carry with you, and how often do you fill up? Dain A - My dog carried the water (2 liters) and we could hike this time for 2-4 hours with that amount. Water was plentiful, except for a few places and we'd refill every 2-5 hours but remember this will vary by weather and terrain 3) Changes for next trip - a) Pudding recipe - go ahead and get large pudding but instead of making half at a time make it quarters. This should be plenty and will probably only carry one for every other day like this past trip. b) Would like to have a water carrying system like the ULA packs, allows to carry water on shoulder straps. c) Not planning to carry my dog Okie. d) Have my daily mileage average be about 12-14 miles, of course this assumes terrain similar to what I hiked. 4) Interview with Kirk Sinclair who has hiked the Appalachian Trail three time, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail and most recently the American Discovery Trail (ADT). He's also hike other trails which he mentions in the podcast. Kirk has hiked with Warren Doyle twice and gives a viewpoint on those hikes that folks might enjoy hearing if they're considering a thru hike with Warren in 2015. Kirk and his wife Cindy recently hiked the ADT with a mission to document the kindness they were shown and to speak to groups. Kirk has begun the process of writing a book to document these acts. If you have acts of kindness that you've been shown Kirk asks that you post those on his website. You can also keep track of him on Facebook and Youtube.
