Learn from a couple who successfully thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (watch the video) and NEVER GOT A BLISTER! They share their wisdom and tips and tricks here. Oh, and if you think they must be veteran backpackers, you're wrong. The longest camping trip they had done prior to hiking the AT was 3 nights! "75% of the people who finish a thru-hiked the AT each season have not spent more than three consecutive days outside" "Fund the trail you want to hike, not the other way around. Not, hike the funds you have."

 What would it be like to only have three worries in life, weather, water, and food?   Really... I can't wrap my mind around it. That's exactly how Ryan and Nicole Levinson live on their tiny dwelling, a 28' sailboat Nioma.   I had the opportunity to interview Ryan just before their Pacific crossing to ask them about life on a sailboat, the logistics, and planning involved in the preparation for a Pacific crossing.    P.S. This was initially recorded a year ago and I'm happy to report that they made it to Tahiti safe and sound and have been kite surfing and free diving their hearts out along the French Polynesian for months.   If you know of someone living an extraordinary life and you think they would make a great guest on Earthy, or would like to give us feedback, please reach out at www.adventure-guru.org!

Marianna Milkis-Walker shares with us how her company has taken out the headache of what to wear and minimized your closet in the process.   Through the use of Epytom's Facebook Messenger Bot you can enter your wardrobe once and have it dress you every day thereafter if you'd like. Simply check the current weather conditions, the occasion, and the bot will create an outfit for you. This saves you decision capital for more important decisions you'll have to make throughout the day. Save up to 1.5 hours each week by letting Epytom "dress you".  There are about 700 unique outfits that this bot can create with 40 pieces (including shoes and accessories). Goodbye, "I have nothing to wear crisis".  Facebook Messenger Bot If you know of someone living an extraordinary life and you think they would make a great guest on Earthy, or would like to give us feedback, please reach out at www.adventure-guru.org!

For this Urban Farming Friday I had the great pleasure to speak with Queen Bee, Lisa Graham of YYC Beeswax. I had a lot to learn about this sweet topic, and Lisa didn't disappoint. I had no idea how many products bees produced. Did you know that there are pollen traps as doormats for the bees? The pollen simply falls off of their feet as if they wiped their feet before entering their honeycomb home!  If you know of someone living an extraordinary life and you think they would make a great guest on Earthy, or would like to give us feedback, please reach out at www.adventure-guru.org!
