	Description:		This is the second part of a two-part mini-series with Marketa and David Daley who in 2022 hiked 1300 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail with their 3 young kids. David and I dive into the more holistic side of hiking the trail and explore the meaning behind the struggle and process of a thru-hike. For anyone who enjoys the non-technical side of a thru-hiking discussion, you’ll enjoy this, especially if you’re a parent yourself. David and I dive into what it was like to hike as Father on the PCT, how hard it was to learn to hike as slow as a child, and the spiritual connection we feel toward wild spaces. A thru-hike is a difficult thing to process and it was great to have the chance to explore the experience with David so soon after the end of his hike. Show Notes Digesting the trail The importance of immersing yourself in the wilderness Thoughts on possible long-term effects of thru-hiking with kids (hopes versus reality) Experiencing the PCT as a Dad Parental roles and responsibilities on the trail Holding hands for 500 miles then letting go… Learning to hike all-day What it’s like hiking at a child’s pace Reasons behind the hike The spiritual connection to wild spaces Is life balance possible?
