In this episode, we discuss further our plans for Mt Whitney Summit (if we get a permit). We are going to dive deeper into how to train for such an undertaking as we start the process. We also will touch on a recent trip we took to do some winter backpacking and camping in the cold weather. We will rave about some bean soup that Carlson's wife made him and of course make fun of each other relentlessly

And just like that we reappear out of nowhere. Join us for our triumphant return of the Campfires and Catholes Livestream. We are coming back to get back into the swing of things. The format will be a bit different. Less interviews and more discussion about things that matter, such as, gear, tips, tricks, and stories. We hope you will join us. We are also adding a third team member to the family. Jeremy from All Things Outdoors will be a regular now. You can find his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@All_Things_Out_Doors

If you are looking for the best gear reviews out there from an individual who lives the outdoor lifestyle. You need to look no further than Devin Ashby from Backcountry Exposure. We have followed Devin for quite a few years and that is why we are excited to have a sit-down conversation with him about his adventures, gear, experiences, and most of all how being a full-time content creator is going. This is going to be a great discussion that you won't want to miss. Be sure to head over to his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@BackcountryExposure and give him a sub and tell him Campfires and Catholes sent you

Well, it has been a long summer but we are ready to get back to talking about stuff.

Boy, do we have a great show for you all. We have two guests booked. For the first ten minutes, we will be visiting with Hayden from Neighborhood Packs. He is the founder and creator of one of the best upcoming handmade backpacking packs out there and we want to have him on for a bit to talk about his packs. You can find his website at neighborhoodpacks.com to check out his selection. Our main guest is Jonny and Colleen from Kuehl Kuest. They are a Michigan-based backcountry couple who have a successful YouTube channel that features their trips, live stream interviews with other backcountry couples, as well as other awesome adventures. We recently got to hang out with them at our Indiana Meetup and they are so interesting we wanted to have them on to talk about all their travels. You can find their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@KUEHLKUEST go give them a sub and tell them we sent you over

Brian Galyon from Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures is the quintessential truck camper, adventurer, fisherman, hiker, and backpacker. He is also one of the best resources for living a nomadic lifestyle as he has lived out of his truck full time for 7-plus years. Along the way, he has learned how to be self-sustaining and along with his Dog Sierra get the most out of a simple life. We are very excited to talk with him and find out what his plans are for the future now that he has a plot of land to homestead in both Colorado and Arizona. If you want to check out his channel, you can find it here at this link: / @offgridbackcount... tell him we sent you over.

No guests this week, however, we are going to talk about our different recent thru-hike trips. Brian will talk about his section hike of the Appalachian Trail and we will both talk about our recent Adventure Hiking Trail Hike. This should be a great discussion as THG has not attempted a long hike in a very long time. You won't want to miss it.
