Sling, known off trail as Aaron Owens Mayhew, decided to solve her mid-life crisis via the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017.  Injury had other ideas and 300 miles in she stepped off the trail.  Successful recovery invited her to jump to the Appalachian Trail… however jumping into the middle turned out to be a very bad idea.  In this episode, we talk about her challenges on trail, how she applied her nutritionist background to the subject of trail food, van life and the creation of Backcountry Foodie.
