Not as many of us have a kilt on during that daydream. For Nic, the kilt is a beacon of freedom, hope and warmth (you’ll have to listen to learn more about that). After years of living the old 9-5 story, Nic was tired of the way life was going. He decided, on doctors orders, to quit his job and thru-hike the Appalachian Trail to be “reborn” into a life he was more excited about. He has now completed the AT, the Continental Divide Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. We caught up with Nic before his PCT hike. Follow Nic:Youtube.com/c/thewanderingkiltsmanInstagram: @thewanderingkiltsmanOur Sponsors:* Check out Outdoorsy and use my code ASP for a great deal: https://www.outdoorsy.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
