In this episode, we catch up with Nick Johnson, also known as J Man or Captain Underpants, as he shares his journey from falling in love with hiking on the John Muir Trail (JMT) to tackling the 2,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from Mexico to Canada. Nick discusses his preparation hikes on Catalina Island and in Sequoia, his experiences with bison, and his film about hiking. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on his movie 'Mile 666,' a thru-hiking horror film he produced with a small team, reflecting on its production and future release plans. Nick also compares the PCT with the Appalachian Trail (AT), shares his highs and lows on the trails, and offers valuable hacks for fellow hikers.
