Ep. 804: Creating Your Own Thru-Hiking Route - Revisited - Erik Schlimmer

Originally aired on April 29, 2019.

Erik is an experienced peak-bagger, long-distance hiker, author (of seven books), and has immense amounts of knowledge about off-trail travel and wilderness adventuring, especially in the northeast of America. He has climbed over 200 remote peaks in the Adirondacks during winter, with many of them not having a trail to the summit. He’s an expert in toponym research (why things are named what they are) and sustainable trail design.

All this knowledge and skill has led him to achieve what many outdoor enthusiasts can only dream of, creating his own thru-hiking route; the Trans Adirondack, a 235-mile backpacking route in the Adirondack mountains that includes off-trail navigation and bushwacking. It’s broken down like this, 182 miles of trails (76%), 50 miles of roads (21%), and 8 miles of trackless woods (3%) to get from one end of the Adirondack Park to the other.

His knowledge is vast, his demeanor unassuming, and his attitude superb. I hope you’re as inspired as I am after this conversation with a truly humble legend of trail travel and development.

Ep. 347: Thru Hiking the PCT - Philip Kramer

Outdoor photographer and writer Phillip Kramer found himself working too much and not outside having enough fun. So, in 2013 he sat down and gave some thought to his predicament. His decision was to thru hike the 2650 mile Pacific Crest Trail. Thinking that he would be off on his own enjoying solitude, he quickly discovered this is not the case. However, even though he was on the trail with a bunch of new thru hiking friends, Phillip realized how revitalizing 6 months on the trail can be.    Book: "Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail - Northern California" www.philipkramer.com Instagram: @boyfriday @hikethepct Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 345: Fear in Adventure - Are You Afraid to Sing in Public? - Two Fools

Curt surprises Travis with a spontaneous phone call and discussion about the fear of trying new adventure sports. This oddball episode is outside of our normal realm but will hopefully provide you with some smiles and laughs as well as some food for thought. As if putting Travis on the spot by cold calling him to have this discussion wasn't enough, Curt decides to toss Travis directly under the bus by slipping in a very embarrassing little ditty Travis recorded while testing a new microphone back in the fledgling days of the Adventure Sports Podcast. Enjoy a laugh on my behalf!  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
