Guest Neil Markey joins host Martin for a grounded conversation about mental wellbeing, resilience, and the realities of finding calm after high-pressure lives. A former Army Ranger who later entered the corporate world as a McKinsey executive, Neil speaks openly about post-combat PTSD, burnout, and the long path toward rebuilding a workable inner life. He describes how these experiences led him to Beckley Retreats, a legal psilocybin program that integrates modern research with meditation, mindful movement, and intentional time outdoors.
The episode explores the challenges of high-functioning burnout, the limits of performance culture, and the struggle veterans and leaders face when trying to reenter ordinary life with their nervous systems still wired for crisis. Martin guides a candid discussion about what actually supports post-traumatic growth and what often fails to help. Neil offers practical insights from his work with both veterans and civilians, emphasizing embodied practices, transparency, and the discipline required to heal without shortcuts.
Listeners looking for an honest, science-informed approach to resilience will find this conversation steady, thoughtful, and deeply human.

In this episode, Martin talks with Ken Posner about his shift from Wall Street life to mountain trails, where he took on the brutal and beautiful Catskill "Grid"—a challenge requiring over 400 ascents across every month of the year. What began as a pursuit of a record evolved into something far deeper.
Ken shares how stripping away gear, comfort, and convention helped him reconnect with nature on its terms. Barefoot, minimalist, and often alone, he found purpose in the mud, snow, and silence. This is more than a story about running—it's about transformation, obsession, and discovering what it means to move through the world with intention.
Ken Posner’s story continues in Chasing the Grid: An Ultrarunner's Physical and Spiritual Journey in Pursuit of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge.
Pre-order now and experience the mountains through the eyes of a man who left behind convention to find meaning in every ascent.

Host Martin welcomes back solo thru-hiker and outdoor advocate Katie “Oats” Houston, whose 3,000+ miles on trail and deep ties to the hiking community make her a familiar voice to Papa Bear Hikes listeners. This episode takes a personal turn as Katie opens up about the impact of Hurricane Helene, which struck her hometown of Asheville, North Carolina in 2024.
Katie shares how the storm affected her family and neighbors, and how the community rallied in its aftermath. A key part of that recovery was the donation of Sawyer water filters—critical in restoring access to safe drinking water amid widespread flood damage and water advisories. As Community Manager for Sawyer, Katie helped lead distribution efforts, connecting backcountry tech with urgent, real-world needs.
Through it all, she reflects on the role outdoor brands can play in disaster response and how trail values like self-reliance, stewardship, and community carry over in moments of crisis.

In this episode, Martin speaks with author Kathy Elkind about her newly released
memoir, To Walk It Is To See It: 1 Couple, 98 Days, 1400 Miles on Europe’s GR5.
About the author:
Kathy Elkind is a long-distance walker, writer, and speaker. Along with her husband she has walked the GR5, the Andalusian Coast to Coast Walk in Southern Spain, and parts of the Cammino Materano in Italy. She can be reached at www.kathyelkind.com. Kathy lives in the Mad River Valley of Vermont. TO WALK IT IS TO SEE IT is her first book.
DESCRIPTION:
In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.
At fifty-seven, Kathy has chosen comfort over hardship: Unlike the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Coast Trail, the GR5 winds from village to village instead of campsite to campsite. She and Jim get to indulge in warm beds and delicious regional food every night and croissants in the mornings. The GR5 is not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days bring sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. Meanwhile, Kathy finds herself reflecting on difficult topics; primarily, her struggles with dyslexia, overeating, and shame. She discovers her own wise strength; and as the days unfold, she comes to the gratifying realization that a long marriage is like a long trail: there are ups and downs and it takes hard work to keep going, but the beauty along the way is staggering.
Written with raw honesty and compassion, and rich with dazzling scenery, To Walk It Is To See It will inspire you to lace up your walking shoes and discover your own path.

Martin is excited to welcome back Jen Loofbourrow Founder/Owner of Alpine Fit to the podcast. In this episode, Jen shares her family adventure exploring lakes and portage trails on remote Admiralty Island in Alaska.
About Jen Loofbourrow • Founder/Owner:
In my early twenties I fell in love with expeditions kayaking the outer islands of Alaska's southeast coastline. Inevitably, we experienced variable conditions, sun to rain, and everything from freezing water temps to natural hot springs.
With no access to laundry for weeks at a time, and limited space, I could take only essential basics, and each piece of gear had to perform. I refined and honed my packing list and found substitute products for what I really wanted, which all too often weren't available.
Since then, I have embarked on many extended traveling and backpacking trips, in addition to the activities I like to do regularly in my normal life - a quick hike after work, or biking around the block with the kids and our dog.
My journey in apparel began as a materials developer at lululemon in Vancouver, then lingerie and swimwear retail store owner in Ireland, and later, a wholesale and operations manager at Swedish women's brand Skhoop in Anchorage, Alaska. These jobs formed building blocks for what I would realize is my passion: making outdoor gear basics for a multitude of adventures and activities, with fabrics I believe in, while being an excellent employer for my dedicated and creative team.
More than that, I know that every person has unique body characteristics, and that the standard fit offered by most brands does not work for all. At Alpine Fit, we work tirelessly to design and refine products that are offered in twice the fit options, and therefore twice the number of size combinations for more people to be able to find their perfect fit with our clothes.
I am excited to help outfit you for your outdoor experiences, and I look forward to seeing you on the trails!

Jay Morrison is a father, husband, brother, and outdoor adventurer. Whether it's hiking, backpacking, camping, or paddling, Jay loves getting out into the woods, and sharing his adventures with folks. Growing up, Jay was always interested in the outdoors, but it never became a main focus in his life until he was invited to climb his first Adirondack High Peaks in November 2015. As he was standing on top of Cascade Mountain in awe of the amazing beauty, a feeling of gratitude and purpose stirred inside that has been driving Jay to inspire others to get outside and do something awesome!

About Jen Loofbourrow • Founder/Owner:
In my early twenties I fell in love with expeditions kayaking the outer islands of Alaska's southeast coastline. Inevitably, we experienced variable conditions, sun to rain, and everything from freezing water temps to natural hot springs.
With no access to laundry for weeks at a time, and limited space, I could take only essential basics, and each piece of gear had to perform. I refined and honed my packing list and found substitute products for what I really wanted, which all too often weren't available.
Since then, I have embarked on many extended traveling and backpacking trips, in addition to the activities I like to do regularly in my normal life - a quick hike after work, or biking around the block with the kids and our dog.
My journey in apparel began as a materials developer at lululemon in Vancouver, then lingerie and swimwear retail store owner in Ireland, and later, a wholesale and operations manager at Swedish women's brand Skhoop in Anchorage, Alaska. These jobs formed building blocks for what I would realize is my passion: making outdoor gear basics for a multitude of adventures and activities, with fabrics I believe in, while being an excellent employer for my dedicated and creative team.
More than that, I know that every person has unique body characteristics, and that the standard fit offered by most brands does not work for all. At Alpine Fit, we work tirelessly to design and refine products that are offered in twice the fit options, and therefore twice the number of size combinations for more people to be able to find their perfect fit with our clothes.
I am excited to help outfit you for your outdoor experiences, and I look forward to seeing you on the trails!

Lily's Bio
Hi! My name is Lily and I'm stoked to be attempting my first backpacking NOBO thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail beginning late March 2023. I'm 23 and originally from Brunswick, Maine (hiking home)! This past winter I got to experience my first winter skiing out west as a lift operator in Big Sky, Montana. Someday, I'll be pursuing a career in sustainable urban planning and design, but, for now, it's one foot in front of the other and swatting bugs!

Martin is pleased to welcome writer, teacher and outdoor education practitioner Dan Kriesberg to the program. Take a listen to hear about incredible projects Dan is pursuing.
This episode is part of a series with Dan who will return to discuss his organization
Kids In Nature (KIN).
About our guest in his own words:
I am a father, husband, son, brother, friend, teacher, writer, and citizen who absolutely loves being in wild places. As long as I can remember I have been obsessed with the natural world and outdoor adventures. As a teenager, I kept a list of birds I had seen and wrote about the animals in my backyard. My heroes were backpackers.
My career began as a naturalist in residential outdoor education centers. From there I became an elementary school teacher on Long Island. After 11 years I resigned to start Salamander Solutions, an environmental education consulting business and be a stay at home Dad. When my children entered school in 2004, I returned to the classroom as a 6th grade science teacher at Friends Academy.
In forty plus years of backpacking I have been to the Rockies, Sierras, and the Red Rock canyons of Utah and Arizona. In the Northeast my trips have taken me to the Adirondacks, the Catskills and Vermont, among other places. When I became a father, my two sons, Zack and Scott joined me on outdoors strolls, walks, hikes and multi-day trips. I plan is to do a lot more in the future!
My writing credits include, A Sense of Place, Teaching Children about the Environment with Picture Books and Think Green, Books and Activities for Kids, as well as over 100 articles on environmental education and essays about my personal experiences in the outdoors.
I live in Bayville, NY on the north shore of Long Island with my wife, Karen. Whenever possible I spend time in wild places backpacking, hiking, walking and sometimes simply sitting and observing.About Me (dankriesberg.com)

About our guest in her words:
Hey! I’m Tami.
In 2016, with zero outdoor experience, I decided to hike the Grand Canyon. Aided by a Google search bar and a glass of Cabernet, I made reservations and embarked on a life-changing year.
I now make my living as a freelance travel and lifestyle writer and am currently writing a book about my experience.
WhenI’m not on the trail or in my kayak, you’ll find me on the deck plotting my next big adventure.
Life’s a trip; let’s take it together.

In this episode of the Papa Bear Hikes podcast, Martin welcomes back Tonya Monarch Lonsbury. Tonya was part of our 2022 AT Tramily. In this interview, Tonya discusses her new book based on her adventures with “Zoby – a real-life 2022 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Dog.”
Big adventures require great courage.
Although small, Zoby – a real-life 2022 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Dog – has shown bravery in the face of injury and death before the trail and draws on that strength as he faces big challenges on his journey from Georgia to Maine. Assisted by woodland Trail Angels, Zoby stares down the leaders of the evil Squirrel Mafia and their resources, foiling their plans to rid the trail of dogs, or "domestics" as they are called, like him ... especially small, white ones following a fateful, tragic incident in the past.
Bears. Elk. Moose. Owls. Hawks. Snakes. Chipmunks. Squirrels. Birds. Deer. Porcupines. Coyotes. Bobcats. Wild Boar. What woodland creatures are friend or foe to Zoby? Why does the Squirrel Mafia despise him so? As their diabolical leader becomes more enraged with each state line crossed and milestone reached, will Zoby and his tramily (trail family) survive the next trap and make it to Katahdin in Maine?
Entwined with descriptive landmarks of the Appalachian Trail and its history, thru-hiker lingo and trail life, and visits to actual trail towns and hostels, Zoby and his tramily's journey is especially relatable to anyone familiar with the Appalachian Trail or thru-hiking in general. Colorful characters add life, from a southern belle Grayson Highlands pony to an angry Pennsylvania porcupine, to a macho Maine moose, and all in between – including Zoby's two yin-and-yang balance of sidekicks.
All are invited to join the adventure of a lifetime as Zoby digs deep to find the strength and courage to overcome all the obstacles en route to Maine, and how his presence leaves the Appalachian Trail's woodland creatures changed forever.

Martin is excited to welcome Jen Loofbourrow Founder/Owner of Alpine Fit to the podcast. The crew at Papa Bear Hikes podcast hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did participating in it. In honor of Women's History Month, Paap Bear Hikes is featuring Women doing great things in, and for, the outdoor community.
About Jen Loofbourrow • Founder/Owner:
In my early twenties I fell in love with expeditions kayaking the outer islands of Alaska's southeast coastline. Inevitably, we experienced variable conditions, sun to rain, and everything from freezing water temps to natural hot springs.
With no access to laundry for weeks at a time, and limited space, I could take only essential basics, and each piece of gear had to perform. I refined and honed my packing list and found substitute products for what I really wanted, which all too often weren't available.
Since then, I have embarked on many extended traveling and backpacking trips, in addition to the activities I like to do regularly in my normal life - a quick hike after work, or biking around the block with the kids and our dog.
My journey in apparel began as a materials developer at lululemon in Vancouver, then lingerie and swimwear retail store owner in Ireland, and later, a wholesale and operations manager at Swedish women's brand Skhoop in Anchorage, Alaska. These jobs formed building blocks for what I would realize is my passion: making outdoor gear basics for a multitude of adventures and activities, with fabrics I believe in, while being an excellent employer for my dedicated and creative team.
More than that, I know that every person has unique body characteristics, and that the standard fit offered by most brands does not work for all. At Alpine Fit, we work tirelessly to design and refine products that are offered in twice the fit options, and therefore twice the number of size combinations for more people to be able to find their perfect fit with our clothes.
I am excited to help outfit you for your outdoor experiences, and I look forward to seeing you on the trails!

In this episode, Martin welcomes writer and hiker Carl "Professor "Stanfield to the podcast. Carl most recently attempted to break the record for the most miles hiked in one year.
Carl Stanfield's Bio
I'm Carl "Professor" Stanfield, and I love backpacking. I studied Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education at Brevard College in North Carolina, then spent about 3 years living and working at a camp in Leavenworth, Washington. After my time there ended, I decided to attempt a thru hike, and in April 2018, I set out on my adventure on the Appalachian Trail, finishing at the end of August 2018. I fell in love with the wondrous life of thru hiking and decided to make it a priority. I had another successful adventure on the PCT in 2019 and am now dreaming of a Calendar Year Triple Crown (and then some) in 2022. I currently manage a local outdoors store in Birmingham, Alabama.

Martin is excited to welcome back hiker, solo sailor, author, and fellow podcaster Jerome Rand. Listen as Jerome shares his recent harrowing experience on his Westsail 32 "Mighty Sparrow."
It's safe to say that Jerome Rand has a healthy addiction to Solo Adventure Sailing. Having sailed more than 70,000 miles on his Westsail 32 "Mighty Sparrow" he has experienced the highs and lows of life on the ocean. His most recent adventure was intended to be a relaxing Trade WInds sail around the North and South Atlantic Oceans. The reality was anything but relaxing when Jerome was turned upside down by a rogue wave 400 miles from Bermuda.
When on land, Jerome works in the marine industry, is the host of the Sailing Into Oblivion Podcast, and travels to various speaking events to share the stories and insights from his many adventures.
Video from the night all the damage happened:

Martin, host of the Papa Bear Hikes podcast, welcomes back Dr. Ola Abbas to discuss her upcoming hike of Machu Picchu. Tune in to hear an informative and fun discussion about stepping out of our comfort zones and broadening horizons.
Dr. Ola Abbas is a critical care and acute medicine consultant in the NHS and a travel entrepreneur owning an international travel franchise.
Ola is passionate about wellbeing through travel, she believes that burnout from a job doesn’t have to be the end of it. She is on a mission to empower burnt-out professionals to start an online travel business so they can rekindle their spark, live more freely and create a legacy income.
Her vision is to help people grow and fulfill their potential. Ola believes that we are divine beings with unlimited personal strength, Ola’s mission is not only to show you it can be done but also how it can be done.
Her target is to empower and impact 10,000 people in the next two years to travel more, experience more, and add value to their lives.
Her background living in a war zone has equipped her with the survival tools necessary to grow and create something from nothing, she has carved her way through life and built a career and a business from scratch.
Ola frequently gets asked if anyone can achieve their dreams and desires and she says “If I immigrated from under gunshots, bombs, and terror attacks and ended up where I am now, then you can have anything.
If you want to change your life, you have to work for it, and what you work for you will get.”

Martin of the Papa Bear Hikes Podcast welcomes back Dr. Able Cunningham to hear the latest on Bigfoot.
Dr. Able Cunningham is a weapons expert, outdoorsman and Bigfoot Scientist. As a lifelong resident of New Hampshire, he has dedicated his life to revealing the truth about Bigfoot in the Granite State. Able has documented his own experiences and those of others across the state on www.603bigfoot.com and on his YouTube channel. He is the founder of the Bigfoot Awareness, Resistance and Education (B.A.R.E.) program, which seeks to better inform and protect the public from the perils of Bigfoot.
Ricardo O’Connor first became interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon as a teenager, when he had a close relative go missing in the White Mountain National Forest under mysterious circumstances. For years, this instilled a deep fear of the forest—until he came under the tutelage of noted Bigfoot Scientist Able Cunningham. Now Ricardo is a valued member of the 603 Bigfoot team and is pursuing a degree in Bigfoot Science himself.

In this powerful podcast episode, Papa Bear welcomes author Andrew Mann to share his experience in Gettysburg.
Andrew Mann is the author of Such Unfortunates (available on Kindle, Audiobook and paperback).
Such Unfortunates:
Each year, more Americans die of drug abuse than the total of those who perished during the Vietnam War.
This is the true story of an addict who was able to overcome his addiction against all odds.
Andrew's life began in an upper-class town of Moorestown, New Jersey. His family had a million-dollar beach house, he attended college and even had the rare opportunity of driving a Ferrari around South Florida.
His life seemed normal on the outside, but the internal turmoil he was experiencing was a horrific ordeal.
Behind what seemed like an idyllic life was a nightmare of abuse, mental illness, and torment that no child should ever face. This led Andrew to suffer from pain, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
Searching for relief, he found solace in drugs and became quickly addicted to anything that would change the way he felt. His addiction to drugs took him to such extremes as working for the DEA while being high on drugs, multiple rehabs, jails, becoming homeless, and even to the point of being considered dead.
When all hope was lost, people he considers "angels" entered his life.
One person, in particular, refused to give up on him even when everyone told her this was the best option. Through her determination, he was able to find the strength to look inside and find the real reasons for his addiction.
Once he understood these reasons, he was finally able to figure out how to stay clean and successfully turned his life around.
This book will give hope to anyone who is suffering from addiction or knows someone who is facing the adversity of addiction. It will show them why they should never give up and how working together, we can beat this opiate epidemic.

Papa Bear welcomes guest Kyle O'Grady to the show. Tune in for Kyle's announcement and fun conversation.
About Kyle (from his bio)
I actually love hiking. Like a lot. I even love thru hiking. And backpacking. I love it approximately 69% more than the average American, according to a 2018 Harvard study.
When I was 16, I learned what the Appalachian Trail was. Being an ambitious teenager, I decided that one day I was going to attempt the trek from Georgia to Maine. I realized that goal in 2018 and completed numerous smaller hikes in the years leading up to my AT hike.
Follow along as I post hiking vlogs, trip reports, and all things related to thru hiking and backpacking. Just don't take me too seriously, or I will call the cops.

Fred was born and raised in France and moved to the US in 1999 after college in Canton, Ohio as a mechanical engineer. Fred met my wife Shawna there in 2005 and they married in 2008. She’s an art teacher and also a successful showing artist in many galleries. The couple moved to Texas in 2013.
Fred and Shawna live a rather simple life in order to travel to Europe to see family and enjoy their passion of the outdoors which includes visiting Texas state parks, national parks, and travels across the United States. They find camping is the easiest and most affordable way to spend time in the outdoors.

Youngest Appalachian thru-hiker completes journey with his parents before kindergarten (wabi.tv)
Growing up in Northern Michigan, Jerome Rand had a late start in the world of sailing. It wasn’t until the age of 18 that sailing became the focus of his life. First teaching sailing on the small inland lakes and then venturing out on yacht deliveries from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. On one trip to the BVI he was introduced to the Bitter End Yacht Club and found himself working with the watersports center for the next 9 years.
It was during the last three years at BEYC that the pieces of a long-held dream started to take shape, to sail solo and nonstop around the world. On a small budget he purchased a 1975 Westsail 32 and began the journey of a lifetime. The first year was spent fixing, breaking, and fixing again anything that might be a weak point on the boat. In June of 2017 the boat, “Mighty Sparrow” was hauled out of the water and work began making modifications to endure the long trip ahead.
In October the boat was back in the water and weather window opened to set out from Gloucester Massachusetts following a few nervous weeks watching hurricane Irma, Maria and then Jose storm through the Atlantic. On October 3 rd Jerome Rand set sail aboard the Mighty Sparrow for what would be a 271-day sail and the adventure of a lifetime.
To reach home, the boat would have to cross the North Atlantic during the end of Hurricane season then cross the South Atlantic on the way to the stormy seas of the Southern Ocean near the Cape of Good Hope. From there it was South of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand on route to Cape Horn. Once around the Five Great Capes the boat turned North, heading for warm weather and a friendly ocean. After two months of retracing the outbound track, on June 30, 2018, the Mighty Sparrow sailed into Gloucester Mass after 9 months and 29,805 miles sailed. The journey tested every limit both mental and physical, from fierce winds to demoralizing calms, and everything in between. In the end it was perseverance and a bit of luck that would see this small boat through some of the world’s most dangerous seas.

Able Cunningham is a weapons expert, outdoorsman and Bigfoot Scientist. As a lifelong resident of New Hampshire, he has dedicated his life to revealing the truth about Bigfoot in the Granite State. Able has documented his own experiences and those of others across the state on www.603bigfoot.com and on his YouTube channel. He is the founder of the Bigfoot Awareness, Resistance and Education (B.A.R.E.) program, which seeks to better inform and protect the public from the perils of Bigfoot.
Ricardo O’Connor first became interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon as a teenager, when he had a close relative go missing in the White Mountain National Forest under mysterious circumstances. For years, this instilled a deep fear of the forest—until he came under the tutelage of noted Bigfoot Scientist Able Cunningham. Now Ricardo is a valued member of the 603 Bigfoot team and is pursuing a degree in Bigfoot Science himself.

try new things and his work as a Ambassador for Paradox Sports.
Enock Glidden (@enockglidden) • Instagram photos and videos
Blog | Go Beyond The Fence | Adaptive Adventure
Paradox Sports – Climbing For All
Mr. Glidden's Bio:
As a child with Spina Bifida growing up in Patten a small town in northern Maine, Enock had to learn to do things differently than others but with the use of adaptive equipment and help from friends and family, he has had a very full life.
Having had the opportunity to experience a lot of things that people with two working legs may not even try, he now resides in Bethel Maine and is an avid skier, rock climber, and participates in many other sports. These sports include tennis, basketball, paragliding and skydiving. Through an internship related to his studies in computer science he was able to travel across the United States and visit some of our most cherished outdoor spaces including many national parks. He culminated his internship experience in California with a 5 day ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.
So despite what some may call a setback in life he has made it his mission to inspire others to get out and try things and experience as much in life as they can.

My connection with nature began when I was kid. There was nothing else that excited me more than being outside whether it’d be visiting the neighborhood creek with my friends or building makeshift terrariums with my sister to house caterpillar’s so we could see them turn into butterflies. It wasn’t until I got older and the responsibilities started to pile up that I began to focus more on “adulting” and spent less time enjoying the nature around me. In 2019, a couple of friends and I randomly decided to go hiking one summer morning at a small trail right outside of Baltimore City. I was hooked! I was instantly brought back to my childhood – outside with my friends. Hiking became the flame to a spark that I always had deep inside of me. I suddenly felt the need to be outside and exploring again. Some of my favorite trails are alongside big rivers such as Niagara Falls, NY and Great Falls, Va. I’ve recently become obsessed with mountain hikes in areas such as Red Rocks, Colorado. Because of hiking, I am not afraid to seek out new adventures. You never know what you’ll get into or where you’ll end up. Asia Bright, Co-founder of Black Girls Hike

In 1980, a construction accident resulted in Willie’s arm being ripped out of the socket. Because of rush hour traffic, Willie ran a mile on foot to the hospital while trying to hold his left bicep muscles in with his remaining arm.
The former all-state wrestler showed his enduring grit by competing in a host of endurance and extreme sports following his accident. Willie captained the Washington Rugby Football Club a few short years after losing his arm and turned that experience into a catalyst that launched him into the world of endurance sports.
Willie’s impressive sport resume includes winning the Catalina Marathon overall, completing the Ironman and Xterra world championships, and a Paralympic medal in cross country skiing. Willie is also a 15-time Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon finisher and current course record holder, two-time finisher of the grueling HURT 100 mile run in Honolulu, Hawaii, the first challenged athlete to complete the Leadville 100 Ultramarathon race series, and has kayaked the Grand Canyon with one arm. In 2020, Willie was one of the legendary riders of CAF Idaho’s grueling Smoke ‘n Fire 400 bike race team. He is also a four time Ironman finisher.
Willie serves as a spokesperson and advocate for Challenged Athletes Foundation and plays a key role in facilitating events such as the San Diego Triathlon Challenge and Heroes, Heart, and Hope Gala in New York. Willie has mentored countless adaptive athletes and pushed them into recognizing their true potential.

Frank, like many others, longed to travel the world and see far off places. He looked into van life and tiny homes but found those to be out of his budget. Eventually he converted the car in his garage into a mini camper and has now driven cost to coast a handful of times exploring along the way.
He takes advantage of side gigs, working remote, long weekends and holidays as well as strategic spending to ensure there is enough in the budget for travel.
He enjoys sharing his adventures on Instagram at @speakingquitefrankly and finds the most joy when he inspires others to get out there and explore too!

BOOK BLURB:
Alone in Wonderland is a story about Christine's 11-day thru-hike of the Wonderland Trail in Mt Rainier National Park. But it's so much more than that. It's an exploration of the reasons why we find ourselves walking alone in the wilderness, literally and metaphorically. As a woman in her 20s, Christine set out to redefine who she was and make meaning of the world around her. Solo backpacking and travel became the answer to many of life's questions. Throughout Alone in Wonderland, she searches for the line between what she calls herself and who she really is. In society, we often define ourselves by the things we do and the people we associate with, and in this story, Christine delves into the backpacking community and how she identifies as a rugged outdoors woman.
To many of us, our relationship with the outdoors is much greater than an appreciation of the beauty of nature or the desire to challenge ourselves physically. It's about healing, claiming and connecting with something bigger than ourselves.
Christine hikes to find her inner self, but she wrote this story for you. She wanted to let others who are searching for meaning and connection to know that they aren't alone.

Papa Bear struggles to keep himself motivated to complete a challenge that he is becoming bored with, and is finding staying off private property to be the most difficult part of completing the challenge. He also struggles with the ethics of bushwhacking. As much as he enjoys the challenge of finding a hidden peak buried in the woods, he also knows we are supposed to be staying on the trail. So, the question is how do you feel about bushwhacking in relation to the ethics of Leave No Trace?
