In This Episode: Howdy hikertrashy folks! In this week's episode we wrap up our interview with Nic “Darwin” Rakestraw. Darwin touches on the business structure for Evolved Supply Co. (his outdoor gear baby) and his inspiration for creating a small cottage name...and here's a hint, it sure as hell is not for the money. Remember how last episode we dove into imposter syndrome; well, you're not an imposter if you're doing the best you can, even as a business owner, even though none of us really have a clue what we are doing on this giant planet of ours. Being called an elitist because you like the most expensive hiking gear? Some might call you a smart consumer instead.

The chat wraps talking about...bikes? Darwin has had quite the journey through cycling, bike racing, and bike-packing. He recently raced the Tour Divide - a 2,700 mile tour/race from Banff to New Mexico, and this interview covers his thoughts and plans before he started.

Stay tuned for a follow up interview with him after the race to see how it went.
