Who is Shotgun?

We have the privilege of speaking with the one and only, Shotgun!

We could not help ourselves with this one, the passion, happiness, and joy from Shotgun was contagious, and we were thrown fully into hiker chat. This Off Trail episode is going to focus quite heavily On Trail, and it is absolute glorious!

We chat about Shotgun's quick progression into hiking, and hiking hard. Finding a competitive spirit against herself to test and push her capabilities everyday. Beginning hiking a few years ago, she has already traveled and hiked many of the trails hikers have on their bucket list. The smaller, "lesser known" trails.

We talk of the upcoming year, chasing 6,000+ miles. Experiencing one of the Big 3 trails of hiking, The Continental Divide Trail, and how it is going to be different while being the same. We get jealous as she talks of her itinerary, as her personality bubbles with energy for every part of this upcoming hiking season.

We chat about the benefits and joy shared when hiking with a partner. The "games" that you play with each other to have a laugh, go an extra mile, enjoy the trail fully.

Truly a wonderful chat with Shotgun, feeling the authenticity and essence of love for the trail and love for hiking.

P:S: We work through a spark of an idea, instead of the 24hr challenge hiking, the 24hr challenge talking with hikers. It would be an absolute circus! Should we, could we, shall we?

FAVORITE QUOTES: "This is not a hobby, this is a lifestyle"

"It went from 0 to 100 and has no intentions of slowing down"
