    The Best
    My all time favorite podcast. I’ve been re-listening to episodes waiting for more! 🫶🏼
  • katekloss
    Adventure!
    Just want to thank you two for the work you do. We need SO many more female creators in this space. I love the conversations, and you’re inspiring me, a mom of 2, with a full time gig, to keep on adventuring.
  • IndraOctopus
    Yes!!
    What fun. :)
  • marikojohnson
    Fun listen!
    Jennifer and Dyana are super fun to listen to. It’s easy, lighthearted, and informative. And all about the outdoors, which I love! Definitely recommend.
  • Steph Wynne
    My Favorite Wilderness Podcast!
    I have been following Jen and Dyana’s adventures for several years now, starting with Jen’s thru hike of the PCT. These two women are so real, so inspirational, and just so fun to listen to!
  • Theresa BO
    Moving!
    You two ladies are incredible and I love you! You do inspire me! Please keep going!
  • fromappalachiatopnw
    So inspiring!
    I’m so excited that these two brave, genuine, and adventure-seeking women have started a podcast! I have followed Jenn since her PCT thru hike and was so excited to “meet” Dyana during their Tahoe Rim Trail hike! These ladies are incredible and so inspiring… and funny! As a solo female hiker, I gain so much from both of them and look forward to each episode. As a new West Coast transplant from the Appalachian Mtns, they give me the confidence to continue exploring my new home solo. THANK YOU, BOTH!!
  • TheAnimalhikes
    Awesomeness
    It is awesome to Hear Jennifer so stoked about hiking. It warms my heart since she was in my dining room years ago asking such basic questions about the PCT, now she is helping people through this podcast! Can I say Awesomeness again! Koski “The Animal” - CDT 2004, PCT 2014, FCL 2021
  • Kelbel2010
    Excited to the max
    I have been looking for an outdoor focused podcast (that talks a lot about backpacking) by women and while there are some I’ve either already listened or didn’t vibe with it. I watched Jennifer’s PCT series on YouTube so I know I will love this podcast. I can’t wait for more! Thanks, ladies!
  • RunawayBunny17
    So excited!
    Really looking forward to this podcast, I love these girls!!
  • 123bbbgocougs
    Yay!
    So excited for the upcoming episodes!
  • New friend.
    Fun, sassy and heartfelt
    Really looking forward to this podcast. I’ve followed the hikes they have done on YouTube and now to hear more of their thoughts and feelings about their experiences will be a delight. And please go easy on that edit button. We’ve seen your feet after miles on the trail, so anything you may say will be acceptable, too. We can take it. 😄

    Unique x 2
    Two intelligent, beautiful, thought provoking women with SOME filters, sharing their journeys! So refreshing and funny!
  • Musiclicks
    2 chicks 2 trails
    Just finished listening to the first episode from these ladies and I gotta say I really loved it. One of them hiked the PNT solo and the other the PCT solo. As a woman I can’t imagine taking on something so grueling by myself so I am excited to hear how they were able to accomplish something so adventurous. I can’t wait to hear what kind of stories they have to tell about each if these hikes. I’ll be listening for more!
  • Owen Frederick
    Quality entertainment
    Amusing and entertaining from start to finish. Both of these ladies are hilarious and highly accomplished. I am stoked for the remainder of this series.
