20: The Double-Edged Sword Of Thru-Hiking

In this episode, Darwin is joined once again by co-host, Einstein, to have a different conversation about mental health in the thru-hiking community. There have been plenty of great conversations about the positive effects that thru-hiking can have on an individual's mental health, but what about some of the negative consequences it can lead to? What mental health issues can be exacerbated by a lifestyle built entirely around thru-hiking and nothing else? This conversation is difficult, but one that is long overdue in our community.
