Episode 85 Back to Film with Nick Reichard
Nick Reichard is a talented photographer and accomplished Thru Hiker. He’s hiked the AT, PCT, and part of the CDT all while toting around some form of film camera. Yes…film. You know that old trick where you had to take a shot and hope it turned out? Well, Nick found out, film is incredibly powerful and worth not only the patience, but the wait as well.
This episode dives into Nick’s background, how he first started Thru Hiking, why he decided to haul a film camera with him, what it’s like after being on trails, and projects he’s currently working on.
Nick is a great guy and I think you’ll really enjoy this episode!
