Matt (Posh Jesus) completed a northbound thru hike of the Appalachian Trail back in 2020. During the start of the pandemic, he was faced with tough decisions that was met with both encouragement and scrutiny. In 2021, he completed a thru hike of the Long Trail. Our conversations consisted of topics including, what the trail was like during the pandemic, aspects of living a true hiker trash life, the differences between the internet hiking community and the on trail community and much more!
