POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some friendships are built over years.
Some are built over blisters, long miles, and finishing one trail… just to start another together. 🥾

On this episode of Hikes & Mics, Jacob “Pimento” shares what it was like to finish the AT and roll straight into the next adventure with the same trail family — Truffles, Hangman, Magic, Pinky, and Gooey.

When you’ve faced the highs and the hardships side by side, those bonds don’t fade when the trail ends. They turn into Thanksgiving trips to Mississippi. They turn into chosen family.

This one is about tramily — and the kind of friendships you earn one step at a time.

🎙️ Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

🧀 From the AT to the PCT with Pimento 🥾🌄

On this episode of Hikes & Mics, we sit down with Jacob—trail name Pimento—to talk tramily, trail grit, and life after the miles. From the AT to the Arizona Trail and the PCT, he shares the highs, the injuries, getting separated in the Sierra, and an emotional reunion in Cascade Locks.

Off trail? He’s a former whitewater rafting guide, woodworker, skoolie builder, and maple syrup producer tapping 275 trees on his family farm. Adventure isn’t just something he does—it’s how he lives.

🎧 Tune in for a story about finding your people and carrying the trail with you long after it ends.

Few more days into the trip and we’re at mile 81. Spent an afternoon and morning in the town of Patagonia before hitting the trail once again. taken in Arizona Trail by @pimento_2021

Signal has been a bit iffy here in souther Arizona as you can imagine. We’re about 50 miles in on day four and headed into Patagonia for our first town resupply. Day one was a killer hill, 3500 feet in elevation over about 5 miles before sidehilling the Darkside of the mountain in 3 feet of snow trying not to sink down. Camped at about 8000 feet and temps were down to 28*. Day two was a huge drop into a beautiful canyon following a flowing creek. Day three and four have been hiking in desert foothills. taken in Arizona Trail by @pimento_2021

New benches made to go with the table. Some nice quarter sawn sycamore boards I picked up at the hardwood mill. Went with whatever wood called out to me and this was it. Makes a nice spare bed for whoever comes out to visit this summer by @pimento_2021
