Episode Summary: In this episode of “Yeti Walks IntoBasecamp” mushrooms are involved. Shiitake? Portobello? Other? We sit down with Megan Dietrich, a licensed counselor/therapist as we cover our fifth week on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022. Megan asks us amazingly insightful questions about the trail, and specifically, post-trail integration as relates to our week 5. We wrap up with a question of the day (QotD) about tent pitchingetiquette (and just how close is too close) and some kind words from a listener.
Topics: Pacific Crest Trail, PCT, camping and pitching etiquette, microdosing, and hope following a breakup.
