Pacific Crest Trail Section Hiker Brad Fulton aka "Old School" joins Jester on today's podcast. Brad talks to us about how he got his trail name, how he first heard about the PCT, his gear changes after his first section hike, and why his gear makes him a more efficient hiker.

At the end of the interview, Brad reminds us that there is "nothing like the hiking community"! Thank you, Brad!
