Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
This week the boys are joined by friend and Hiking Buddies 501(c)(3) Secretary; Lynn Swezey! Josh and Nick chat with Lynn on her hiking background, learn all about the Hiking Buddies organization, and Nick and Lynn give a rundown refresher on cold-weather hiking as we move into "official" winter in the Whites!

It's the "Pulp Fiction" of podcast episodes as Nick and Josh conclude a busy week of pre-Thanksgiving recording, and sit down with one of their favorite hikers to follow; Gwenn Stratton!
Turkeys have been acquired, Nick bags Tecumseh for "Fall" as well as all four seasons and revisits Cascade Path in Waterville Valley, Josh plans another New Year's Eve visit to the Whites, "Coach Josh" is back on the court, and we learn about what drives Gwenn to do what she does in the Whites; creating, crushing, and sharing impressive (and often shapely!) routes through some of New Hampshire's most rugged terrain, including traditional trails, slides, and bushwhacks, on this let's-pretend-it's-after-Thanksgiving-but-it-really-isn't-episode of the PUDs Podcast!

Josh and Nick sit down and get into everything herbal with Rachel Warnock! Rachel is the Founder, CEO, and Lead Herbalist of the PUDs Podcast's newest sponsor; Impact Botanicals!
Josh is changing angles and podcasting locations, it's a microphone revolution, a throwback to "Steamin' Up the Hams", pod-plaques, the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight was lackluster, Nick gets ready to head to a tech conference in Las Vegas, and the boys sit down and chat with Rachel about Ayurvedic medicine, boat racing, sustainability, what it's like to be on a reality television show, stocking-stuffers for hikers, and how Rachel is using her talents as an herbalist and business savvy to create change with Impact Botanicals, on this powered-by-plants-episode of the PUDs Podcast!

Nick made the most of a long weekend; including getting up north for the Lakes Region Search and Rescue (LRSAR) 5K, hiking with the family around Franconia Notch, trekking up to 52-with-a-View peak Hedgehog Mountain, and then making a trip to the northwestern corner of Massachusetts to (finally!) get up to the state's highpoint: Mount Greylock!
Josh ponders what words are podcast appropriate, there are two types of people when it comes to leaves, Nick makes a wrong turn in a 5K, explores Franconia Notch with the family, revisits Hedgehog, the Appalachian Trail goes through some interesting places, the northwestern corner of Massachusetts is beautiful, we've got fresh "stickahs", getting excited for the SLASR Rek'-lis Full Conditions event, and how many Bruce Springsteen songs does Josh know(?), on this November-ish episode of the PUDs Podcast!

Fresh off the heels of Halloween the boys catchup on what's up, and Nick gets into detail about his "home" mountain, and the home mountain of many a Massachusettsan; Mount Wachusett!
Josh is all jacked-up from a post-Hallow's Eve cold but is ready to punch the clock and do some podcasting, Nick celebrates pinch-cohost-of-the-podcast Ashley's birthday, and we take a deep-dive into the 17 mile trail system of Wa-Wa-Wachusett Mountain State Reservation with its 200 acres of old growth forest on this fairly-local-episode of the PUDs Podcast!

Happy Halloween!!! This week Nick and Josh interview friend-and-listener-of-the-Podcast Jake Dalbec, AKA "jakesterd2", about his experiences climbing (and hiking!) in the Northeast, including a recent climb of the Eaglet and a past climb up the legendary Whitney Gilman Ridge on the Cannon Cliffs!
Don't be afraid to hit the red button, the boys are getting ready to go trick or treating, Nick bags Cannon for Fall and checks out a local trail in Rehoboth, "The Coneheads" was a great movie, how many one-hit-wonders were there in the 80s(?), and we learn what it's like to get vertical on some of New Hampshire's most impressive and intimidating climbing routes on this make-sure-you-know-your-knots-and-it's-more-technique-than-strength episode of the PUDs Podcast!

On this week's episode the boys sit down and chat with Britt Wassick, Co-chair of Taylor James Steeves Foundation!
The Taylor James Steeves Foundation (TJSF) was founded in 2018 after the loss of Taylor Steeves. Taylor was diagnosed with a genetic form of lung cancer just days before his 30th birthday and fought the disease for 1 year before losing his battle.
Through fundraising events, like the annual Tay’s Summit Hiking Challenge, they work to provide financial to people and families going through a genetic lung cancer diagnosis. The Tay's Summit Hiking Challenge kicks off September 13th and runs through October 13th, the best time of year for hiking!
Nick wraps up his Summer Four-Thousand Footers with hikes of The Twins and Waumbek and gets ready to head to the Adirondacks, Josh has been busy coaching soccer, and we learn about the touching story of Taylor Steeves, his battle with genetic lung cancer, and how he inspired his friends and family to setup the TJSF to give aid to those fighting genetic forms of lung cancer!

The boys have both been getting out for some hikes and it's time for a recap!
Josh recaps a hike of Weetamoo Woods in Tiverton, RI with the kiddos and tries to find some Giant Trolls in Charlestown, RI! Meanwhile, Nick takes a day off and bags Mount Cabot and Mount Moriah up in New Hampshire in the same day to chip away at his Summer 48 Four-Thousand Footers! Watch out for broken bog bridges, try to stay dry, and how hard is it to find a dwarf to make a power sword these days(?) on this short, sweet, and hiking-content-filled S(mall)PUDs entry of the PUDs Podcast!

Josh had a great vacation in Saco, Maine; Nick lied about not caring about finishing his Summer 48 Four-Thousand Footers this year; and the boys are super-excited for an opportunity to chat with Fawn: AKA "BikeCampHikeGirl"! Fawn tells her story of learning to love hiking in The Whites, the decision to move to New Hampshire from Ohio, tracing the White Mountain Guide, the most intimidating thing about chasing sunrises, a week volunteering for MWOBS, "reluctantly" gridding, and o-so-much-more on this jam-packed episode of the PUDs Podcast!

Josh and Nick have been on a roll podcasting with guests, but this episode is back to just "the boys"! It's time to catchup on some of Nick's latest hikes and see what Josh has planned for a little summer getaway!
Josh deals with a wascally-wabbit, had a Daddy-beach-day, has no juke left in his ankles, and is getting ready for a trip with the family to the beaches and parks of Saco, Maine! Meanwhile, Nick has been a house-Dad but has been getting up North, and runs down all his latest hikes; including a loop of Flume and Liberty with Ash up the Terrifying 25 Flume Slide, a lunch-break loop of Cascade Path, Georgiana and Harvard Falls during Tropical Storm Debby, a loop of the Hancocks, sunset on Bald Mountain, and an out and back of Mount Jackson! It's time to play catchup and maybe it's time to accept your fate of being a fanatical Canadian Football League fan, on this episode of the PUDs Podcast!

The boys and Ash (finally!) sit down with best-friends-of-the-podcast and fellow "Hiking Peeps" Mike and Lorrie to recall that time that they all stayed in Baxter State Park back in summer of 2021, and how they found themselves assisting BSP Search and Rescue with an injured hiker down Maine's infamous mountain; Katahdin!
The gang recalls their journey to the far northern reaches of New England; the beautiful, wild, and remote, Baxter State Park where three of the Maine (and New England) Four-Thousand-Footers reside. Bagging Baxter, Hamlin, and North Brother, enjoying the serenity of Maine's biggest wilderness area, helping a concussed hiker down a trail with BSP SAR, Mike and the moth, Nick takes a swan dive, Lorrie takes a nap, Ash is over trail-mix, Josh has a lot of moisture, Charles and Shaq are in your bathroom, and the pod has a new and "adventuristiq" sponsor on this I-can't-believe-it's-taken-us-this-long-to-talk-about-this-on-the-pod episode of the PUDs Podcast!
