The "Jester" Section Hiker is the premier podcast with the spotlight on section hikers!

The stories you will hear are about everyday people who, in addition to their everyday lives, make the commitment to hike long-distance trails where every section is a new beginning. 

From National Scenic Trails to National Parks and all Trails in between, listen with your host, Julie “Jester” Gayheart, to hear what it means to be a section hiker and the adventure that awaits them section by section.

Pacific Crest Trail Section Hiker Brad Fulton aka "Old School" joins Jester on today's podcast. Brad talks to us about how he got his trail name, how he first heard about the PCT, his gear changes after his first section hike, and why his gear makes him a more efficient hiker.

At the end of the interview, Brad reminds us that there is "nothing like the hiking community"! Thank you, Brad!
