Ep. 996: Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail With Chronic Pain - Peter Conti

Ep. 996: Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail With Chronic Pain - Peter Conti

It was 23 months after Peter’s accident and he was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany: "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better, right?”

With no real camping or outdoor experience, Peter set a starting date a mere three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it.
