OOA On Trail: Bryden Bowley, CDT Thru-Hiker

We caught up with CDT thru-hiker Bryden Bowley roughly halfway through his journey in Island Park, Idaho, just outside of Yellowstone National Park, to ask him about the challenge. We chat holey socks, lightweight stoves, daily mileage, underwear, trail food (broth), and more.
