    I'm enjoying how much Abby and Matt's comfort zones are getting challenged and horizons broadened by recent guests. They've achieved so much of the text book adulting so young; it'll be awesome to see what taste for adventure they get after meeting these different people!

    I loved seeing Renee and Tim on this channel. I am surprised that the focus was exclusively on thru-hiking and how they met. Renee just accomplished a Fastest Known Time for solo female on the Oregon section of the PCT. I was so disappointed that we didn't hear more about this amazing accomplishment and what it was like for her. They also trail race. I would love to hear more about these other dimensions of their lives.

    • @UnplannedPodcast
      @UnplannedPodcast  Місяць тому +46

      I know! Renee has such an incredible story, but the podcast is limited by time! We talked about her incredible accomplishment right when the cameras turned off and I was like “CRAP.” That would have been amazing for the episode 😅😂

      Yup. They need another interview just for Renee. That's ok I'll wait for it! Sucks that for being an engineer she got a "cool" and was asked if they want kids. She can do ANYTHING and that's what she is asked. She/they can do whatever they want! The world is their oyster. (Female childfree engineer here)

    Constructive Criticism: I don’t mind Matts style of interview, asking simple questions. But I don’t think it was transferable in this case. This is a couple that live such a unique lifestyle. And a deeper dive into that would have been nice. There was a lot of questions on irrelevant things that were more about Matts curiosity. I’d suggest you get someone in house that can help you research the guests, and develop questions to supplement what you have. It could be a good balance.

    • @mh40307
      @mh40307 25 днів тому +8

      100% agree. I found myself cringing at almost every question because it was just very unprepared. “What does a glacier even look like” for real? Such surface level, unimportant questions that you could ask almost anybody. So many leading questions, too.

    • @americanwomantoday1928
      @americanwomantoday1928 22 дні тому +1

      I don't think that's be soon bad idea, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it now. Most people probably haven't seen a glacier, and it's genuine conversation and nice to watch something not scripted when so many things are now. It maybe just not your preferred style

    • @GennaKumnik

    My husband and I travelled to Colorado from the UK when we retired from teaching two years ago (aged 57). We thru-hiked the 482 mile Colorado Trail (which is concurrent with the CDT for 235 miles). Our story is documented on ‘Hunt on the Trails’ if it’s of interest to anyone. We identify with so much in this podcast - it was an unforgettable month and put so much of life in perspective. A great experience.

I really would love to know more about their careers and how that plays into their adventures and hikes and obviously they’re both very intelligent and when you spend a lot of time hiking, you’re obviously thinking about a lot of things. They seem like they would be great at solving big problems in the world and I thought, that might come up when they talked about Renee and solar panels. Hopefully that brings about a conversation.

    Around the 56 minute marker they start talking about hitch hiking for rides. I'll say it is quite common for people here in Colorado to hitch hike in the mountains. Many times in the summer, you'll get the river rafters/tubers, and in the winter, you get skiers/snowboarders needing rides back up the mountain. Once in a while, you'll get the hiker hitch-hikers out in the beautiful colorado rocky mountains ⛰️

By the time I saw the car I was convincing myself to take each step and reaching for the car like it was the light at the end of the tunnel. I know with training it’s easier but holy crap they are AMAZING.

    Wow that is amazing with all that hiking and what you endured and overcome. You both have it down to science for sure! Matt and Abby loved your questions, and Matt had me laughing so funny. Great Podcast!

    Fun episode! I'm a hiker and campfire chef who's been living out of my SUV off-grid around the Pacific Northwest *full-time* for almost 10 years. I feel like I would blow your guys' minds if I could talk with you about it, lol

    I tuned 55 and completely STOPPED shaving...lol it helps that I'm not very hairy. I really thought my leg hair stopped growing, but I put on reading glasses and saw the hair was still there 😆 🤣 😂

    LOVED this podcast! Though I only find enjoyment hiking paved short trails, I found great enjoyment watching this podcast! What a fascinating couple.
