Puma Salad, known off trail as Alfred Smith, first thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016.  Returning in 2018, a planned thru hike with his girlfriend became a spiritual journey of self reflection.  In this episode we talk about that journey, the routines & systems of the trail & the importance of “safety meetings”.  Just listen, you’ll get it.
