Episode 227 - Listener Spotlight: Scott Ouimet aka Catskill Mountain Brew

<p>Welcome to episode 227! This week’s episode hands the mic over to a listener favorite: Scott Ouimet, better known as Catskillmountainbrew. Fresh off an Adirondack mission, Scott breaks down a monster effort—16 peaks, 94+ miles, and five days of pushing through terrain that doesn’t exactly hand out participation trophies. We get into the prep, the grind, and the moments that make a long push like that stick with you long after the boots come off. We also touch on a proposed development in the town of Hunter plus a story involving a man, a pair of sunglasses, and a very questionable dive into a toilet vault.
