Ep. 524: Vol-Bivouac Paragliding 1,200-Km of the Canadian Rockies - Benjamin Jordan

Ep. 524: Vol-Bivouac Paragliding 1,200-Km of the Canadian Rockies - Benjamin Jordan

Last summer, Benjamin Jordan realized his lifelong dream of flying his paraglider along the entire length of Canada's southern Rocky Mountains.

From Roosville, Montana to Prince George, BC, the 37-year old, Nelson-based filmmaker flew his wind-powered aircraft across some of BC's and Alberta's most rugged wilderness while having to make strategic landings atop mountains to avoid electrical storms or touching down within the forbidden boundaries of Banff National Park.

Despite the many challenges he encountered along the way, none compared to the psychological struggle of sitting alone in the alpine for weeks at a time, waiting for poor weather or wildfire smoke to clear so that he could fly on. Able to carry no more than 12-days of food, Jordan would occasionally land in populated areas to refuel before heading back up into the nearest summit to re-launch.

Of the entire expedition, Jordan was most nervous, and excited, about soaring over the glaciers and alpine lakes of Jasper National Park, North America's only National Park to allow Paraglider travel. Though its remoteness and mystery have caused pilots to stay away, Jordan dedicated a complete year to studying Jasper's unique topography with the ambitious dream of becoming the first person to fly across her entirety.

Despite extended waits between flights, his fortune continued for 50 consecutive days until the unprecedented levels wildfire smoke of late August left Jordan with no choice but to complete his 1200 km, un-supported journey on foot. During a 4-day (214 km) walk from McBride to Prince George, Jordan had time to reflect on his unique accomplishment while stepping into the record books for the Longest Vol-Biv (Fly-Camp) Expedition in America.

A film depicting the entire journey will be released in the Spring of this year at theendlesschain.com

Ep. 843: Business Owner, Ultrarunner, and Full-Time RVing With Family of 5 - Revisited - Caleb Simpson

Originally aired on February 01, 2019When Caleb sold his previous business, Bearded Brothers, his wife, Kristy, had the crazy idea of being debt-free and living in an RV full-time. Everyone around them thought they were nuts! Nearly 4 years into their journey, a lot of the people who called them crazy are now jealous of their freedom, lack of “stuff”, and ability to go where the wind takes them.  Caleb and Kristy are both small business owners who are able to operate their businesses out of the compact dwelling space. They have no end to their adventure in sight but admit that RV living with three kids and running businesses absolutely has its unique challenges, but it’s a tradeoff compared with a normal route in life.Caleb is also an avid ultrarunner, taking the home and family to races all over the country. Instead of having to go to a stale hotel room after a long race, he can walk right into his house.  Pretty cool!https://www.instagram.com/freedomintow/https://www.instagram.com/hemp_daddys/?hl=enhttps://hempdaddys.com/http://www.freedomintow.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Tori is a busy-body and adventurer, so the art of doing nothing at the temple came difficult.This is when she realized that if she succeeds in doing NOTHING during her 5 days there, it is still an accomplishment because it was accompanied with challenge. Tori believes that celebrating successes we encounter in everyday life is important. This could range from running 240 miles to fixing your bike on your own. So, she started the narrative style podcast series called No Handlebars: Stories of Everyday Success for a Better Life.Learn more about Tori and her podcast at toritells.com or instagram: @nohandlebars_podcastGet 15% off your first order of Gnarly Nutrition by using the code gnarlyadventure15 at gognarly.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
