Aaron LaPrade worked in aerospace as an engineer managing new development projects prior to starting his thru-hike as part of the Appalachian Trail Class of 2022. Aaron expressed interest in “The Crappalachian Trail” episode after meeting our host, Mills Kelly, at the Round Hill AT Festival. Aaron’s curiosity was sparked as he is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient, a privy and cat hole user, and an observer of the different types and conditions of trail privies.
