In today’s episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are united Kevin «Sunshine» Silvernale. Originally, a Seattle commercial pilot, Kevin through the PCT in 2016 and immediately fell in love with the trash lifestyle of the hiker. That passion led him to put his flight career waiting to walk along the AT path, Colorado, much of the CDT, and more recently, to start creating a new path of paths, the north of Colorado Trail.
We talked about his life as a pilot, even when Chaunce convinced him to share a story about how he joined Mile High Club, and how through the intention he moved him away from aviation.
We go deeper into the Northern Colorado Trail (or on the Noco path as he calls it), a 300 -mile route that is developing, covering what is destined to design and redirect a path, work with public land agencies, the best time of the year to upload it, the upper sections (including a journey of the hair of the devil’s life), the wild life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing life, its growing popular life, its growing popular life. Stops-Stops, both for hair, the access of the devil’s vision), wildlife, its growing popularity, waste and touches. He imagines the future and much more of the path.
