Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
This week the boys are joined by friend and Hiking Buddies 501(c)(3) Secretary; Lynn Swezey! Josh and Nick chat with Lynn on her hiking background, learn all about the Hiking Buddies organization, and Nick and Lynn give a rundown refresher on cold-weather hiking as we move into "official" winter in the Whites!
Nick bags Pierce for Fall on a particularly cold December morning and makes a jaunt up to Willard to score some views, Josh has a new angle using his good side and goes to a Christmas fair, the boys meetup for a candy cane hayride with family, Nick is losing his voice, Nick might need to get into toe socks, we have a fantastic conversation with Lynn about the founding of Hiking Buddies, its educational and safety initiatives, and take a deep dive into winter hiking preparedness discussing layering, gear, weather, and more on this its-time-to-bag-those-winter-four-thousand-footers-and-merry-christmas-episode of the PUDs Podcast!
