She has been trekking all over the world for the last number of years but since she was back in town due to the lock down it was a perfect time to catch up on her adventures. We talk about about everything from her adventures on the El Camino, getting accosted in Spain and the Spanish justice system sending her perpetrator to jail, to Patagonia, Antarctica and heck... even catching COVID-19. If you want to live vicariously through someone who approaches life fearlessly then give a listen.

Monday Jun 15, 2020
Monday Jun 15, 2020
In the second part of our interview with Katie Corlett we talk about our attempt to do a southbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. This was Katie's first thru-hike so she didn't know what to expect. From the terrain and knee pain to trail towns and hiker trash we talk about the experience of becoming a thru-hiker.
If you've ever wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail you will get an idea of what it is like. Don't be intimidated. As long as you can walk you can do a thru-hike. Just remember to hike your own hike. Download from iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify or where ever you get your podcasts.

Ep. 30 - ADK Ranger - Scott van Laer
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
When you want to learn about safety in the backcountry there is no one better to talk to than a forest ranger. In this episode, we sit down with Adirondack Forest Ranger Scott van Laer about the Adirondack High Peaks, search and rescues and how you can be safer in the mountains. Scott has been a ranger for 20+ years so he has seen a lot of changes in the traffic to the mountains and the increased demand on the rangers. We talk about how people can help advocate for more rangers to match the increased traffic the park is seeing. Plus you get to hear about why peeing on each other isn’t a good way to stay warm in the cold.
