Mike "FE" Unger left his high-stress corporate job to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2006. That experience forever changed him, and he purposefully re-arranged his life to allow for as much adventuring as possible. Today, he’s hiked over 28,000 miles on North American long trails and is one of a handful of people who is a Double Triple Crowner, having hiked the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails twice each. He’s a frequent contributor to Treeline Review.

Felicia "POD" Hermosillo is a Special Education school teacher. She's thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trail as well as many other trails including the Te Araroa in New Zealand. She's host of the Trail Show podcast, which has been downloaded over 1 million times in 150+ countries since its 1st episode went live in 2012. She’s a frequent contributor to Treeline Review. There is no place she would rather be than outside.
