In this wild and wide-ranging episode of Chasin’ Trail,Teddy Tonelli sits down with trail running icon and thru-hiking Legend (his nickname) Jeff Garmire. We talk tigers (yes, literal and metaphorical), the Cult of Hardrock 100, and how High Lonesome might give it a run forthe money.

We cover poop stories, trail hanky panky, and the grittyrealities of going after the self-supported Appalachian Trail SOBO record—an absolutely massive endeavor that Jeff will soon tackle.

Jeff is the creator of the Free Outside YouTube andpodcast series, a fun-loving FKT crusher, author, and all-around Backcountry Goober with over 30,000+ trail miles under his belt.

From hallucinating on the Long Trail (Jumanji, anyone?)to sprinting to the finish on the JMT with potential kidney issues, he’s been through it all—and lived to podcast about it.


You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might never trust a fartagain.
