    Loved your pod with Chad, and basically any of them that veer into hunting territory. Would love to hear a conversation about on-trail vs off-trail adventures (at the risk of my favorite off-trail places getting busy).

  • Great Show!

    I’m a big fan of the podcast and YouTube channel. Very few people are willing to say the “h-word” (hunting) on a backpacking podcast or channel but the overlap between the two is undeniable. Quality information and an entertaining delivery. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#181 Room to Think with Nathan Jorgenson
Q: Can you dive into Otto's Portal? And how did you come up with this concept? Why did you come up with it?
Jorgenson says the novel grew from questions about history, physics, the soul, and what happens after death. He imagined a physical force that keeps the soul attached to the body and built a story about characters seeking knowledge, redemption, and power around that idea.
#181 Room to Think with Nathan Jorgenson
Q: What do you mean by that? What kind of spiritual damage do you think happens when you think you're in control when you're actually not?
Jorgenson says that life outside a controlled indoor environment makes people feel how little they can command and encourages them to face what comes their way with faith and hope.
#179 Back to the Mountains with Tom French
Q: What inspired you to write The Gap Years and pursue a gap year at 60?
The idea of a gap year felt like a meaningful continuation of the early breaks I had taken in youth, but this time applied to retirement. It allowed me to reconnect with mountaineering and skiing in a way that aligned with my life's values, not just a career path, and proved incredibly enriching.
#177 Turning Setbacks Into Summits with Tia Banks
Q: What do you tell someone that's in that valley?
It's essential to have a peak partner for support and seek mentorship.
#177 Turning Setbacks Into Summits with Tia Banks
Q: What have you learned is like the proper approach when feeling overwhelmed?
It's important to know when to push through and when to pause and reflect on your mental health.
