On the Trail with Canada Joe (Part II)

Hiker Trash Radio

In this episode, Doc talks to Joe Duncan, also known as Canada Joe, about his background as a detective and how he sought healing in nature by hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Joe shares his experiences convincing his wife, navigating the challenging PCT terrain, encountering wildlife, and overcoming fears. We also dive into his time hiking with his son on the Appalachian Trail and his short-lived but intense journey on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) that included a close encounter with a charging grizzly. Joe reflects on the importance of listening to one's body, staying prepared, and not underestimating the wilderness.
