A solo paddler encounters a hidden strainer in the spring runoff of the Beartooth Mountains of Montana.
Callan Wink is a novelist and full-time fly-fishing guide based in Montana. His writing style is highly acclaimed for its vivid descriptions and themes of rural life in the American West. His work is often compared to that of Jim Harrison, who was his friend and fishing companion. Wink's debut collection of short stories, Dog Run Moon (2016), garnered critical acclaim for its lyrical prose and resonant storytelling. In August (2022), Wink's debut novel, he weaves a coming-of-age story set following a young man as he navigates the complexities of adulthood and self-discovery. Through August's journey, the novel explores the struggles of finding one's own path while being tied to the past. Wink's latest novel, Beartooth, which officially comes out this year, is set in Montana's Beartooth Mountains, where we follow two brothers who go to dangerous lengths to live off the grid in a still wild land. Wink's writing comes alive with a keen understanding of the landscape and a vivid portrayal of people living on the margins of society. Wink has contributed essays to Anglers Journal for years now, where the reader gets to see a bit of his lighter side. His latest piece, “Locals Only,” applies lessons he's learned from seasoned surfers to the crowded trout rivers of Montana. The story is featured in the Winter '25 issue. In this podcast, Wink talks about balancing fishing, writing and surfing. Visit AnglersJournal.com to subscribe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode is part of the Meet the Maker series where we highlight an entrepreneur who is making specialty gear for ice climbers. If you've ever wanted to hear the story behind some of your favorite – and soon to be favorite – products, that's what today's conversation is about.We're doing this because we believe that thoughtfully-designed gear is more than the sum of its parts: they are crafted by folks who have decades of experience in the sport, are refined through countless iterations and testing, and brought to life with genuine passion to solve real problems. Said another way, these folks represent the heart and soul of product innovation.
Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E. Feist's Magician (now available in volumes one and two), as well as books by Anne McCaffrey, Jane Yolen, Brian Jacques, E.R. Eddison, David Eddings, and Ursula K. Le Guin. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. Before he began writing Eragon, he plotted out the entire adventure. He found that doing some of the same things as his characters allowed him to better understand their world, as well as to think of descriptions that otherwise would not have occured to him. To this end he forged his own knives and swords, made chain mail, spun wool, camped in the Beartooth Mountains, made his own bow, built survival shelters, learned to track game, fletched arrows, felled trees, hiked, and camped. In short, the books embody a great deal of his experience of living in Montana. His work also combined elements gathered from research and from his imagination. He read a huge amount of folklore while growing up, ranging from the Brothers Grimm to Beowulf, Nordic sagas, and the Aeneid, along with contemporary fantasy and science fiction. In addition, he learned about weaponry, food, clothing, and customs from the Middle Ages, which is roughly the era he envisioned Eragon living in. Armed with that information, he daydreamed the scenes with his characters. Then he took pen to paper and tried to recreate those images with words. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book, and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (which now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003.
On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, puts down his pruning saw for a conversation about the science of tree rings with Dr. Maegen Rochner. Maegen is a Dendrochronologist and a professor of Geographic & Environmental Sciences at the University of Louisville. Her research has focused on the use of tree-ring data to reconstruct past climate and environmental conditions. More specifically, her dissertation research used tree rings in relic and living whitebark pine and Engelmann spruce to investigate climate change and disturbance in the Beartooth Mountains of Northwest Wyoming. She also enjoys research in dendroarchaeology, or using tree-ring patterns to date historic frame structures, log cabins, canoes, and most anything made out of wood. Dr. Rochner has also assisted her colleagues in other fields of dendrochronology, including fire history studies, climate reconstruction, ecology, stand dynamics, and more. As a tree-ring scientist in Louisville, Maegen is interested in initiating local research projects focused on (1) urban forests and their responses to climate change and urban heat islands, (2) tree-ring dating of local historic resources, such as cabins, buildings, and artifacts, (3) pollution and invasive species, and (4) spatial differences in tree species and ages used in urban forests and parks. Learn more at https://louisville.edu/geogeo/about/profiles/meagen-rochner-ph-d.

Southern Montana is the Wild West of dreams and the Hollywood big screen, sprawling over a rugged and serene landscape. After taking in the manifold treats of Wyoming, a dabble with Montana's big-skies and rock-star good looks is an essential addition to an American West road-trip. Part rough-and-tumble Rocky Mountains and part expansive prairie, the state doesn't boast any major cities – they are more like overgrown cow towns. Main Street Red Lodge: Credit Mike Yardley But if you're in need of an urban fix, your best bet is Billings, the state's most populous city – about the size of Hamilton. Nicknamed the Magic City, the moniker came about from Billings' expansive growth in the golden age of railroads, steamboats and cattle barons. The city is a springboard for historical explorations and outdoorsy adventure. First impressions count and what captured my attention on arrival in Billings is how the city is dramatically cradled by magnificent sandstone cliffs known as the Rimrocks. Deposited by an ancient inland seaway and slowly carved over millions of years by the Yellowstone River, these scenic "rimrocks" backdrop the northern edge of town. Rim Rock by Kayak, Billings. Photo / Supplied I struck out on the trails at Swords Park which offers enormous views from the rimrocks. Just keep an eye out for the rattlesnakes! Zimmerman Park and Phipps Park offer fabulous walking trails too, while if you'd rather take to the water to admire the rimrocks, hire a kayak for a dreamy float at sunset on the Yellowstone River. Immerse yourself in nature's splendour! History also adorns Pompeys Pillar, a striking sandstone monolith just of town. It's where William Clark carved his name into the stone in July 1806 before continuing his famous expedition west with Meriwether Lewis. If you're up for a culture fix, there's a good clutch of museums in Billings. I particularly enjoyed the Western Heritage Center, housed in the city's old library, proudly preserving the stories and history of the Yellowstone River Valley and Northern High Plains. Don't let the city's brightly illuminated, flame-throwing oil refineries symbolise your sense of nightlife in Billings. Bar-hopping the craft breweries is where the city excels, come nightfall. Angry Hanks Brewing. Photo / Supplied Clustered in the downtown district, hop-scotch your way from Angry Hanks and Thirsty Street Brewing Company to Uberbrew and Montana Brewing Company. Right next door on Montana Ave, Hooligan's Sports Bar will top off your all-American night out on the town. Montana Ave, which has been transformed into a very hip strip of hospitality, parallels the railroad that gave the city life in the 19th century. For the kids and kids at heart, the only thing better than a binge at the Caramel Cookie Waffles bakery is to get your fill at the gourmet ice cream store, Big Dipper. In the blazing Montana sunshine, this place is like a refuge! I highly recommend a scoop of Banana Cream Pie and tangerine sorbet. A block away, The Burger Dive dishes up creations like I'm Your Huckleberry burgers, which have been honoured by the World Food Championships. Their garlic-drenched fries will linger long in your memories – if not on your breath. Caramel Cookie Waffles, Billings. Photo / Supplied But it's that angus burger topped with smooth goat cheese, bacon, a fresh cut onion ring and huckleberry and chili barbeque sauce, that really hit the spot. Few tastes carry such revered status as the huckleberry does in the American West. They grow wild across Montana, resembling large dark blueberries and Native Americans still use them as a traditional medicine – packed with antioxidants. They certainly taste great in a burger! Where to stay? In the heart of town, the Northern Hotel is the grand dame, first built in 1940, but extensively refreshed a decade ago. You'll enjoy swish accommodations with all of the creature comforts, plus the on-site dining is superb. Enjoy a classic but upscale breakfast at Bernie's Diner. To the west of Billings, Red Lodge is a small-town gem that will charm your pants off, edging the Yellowstone River. This sweet little town is nestled in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains and lassoed by Custer National Forest. The main street, flanked by evocative old stone buildings, brims with enticements, from western-wear stores and antique shops to art galleries and great hospo options. You'll love the gift store, Montana CC Legends, which is loaded with trinkets, treasures and impressive local art. Sweet-tooths must not miss one of the best confectionary stores I have seen in a long time – Montana Candy Emporium. Think the Remarkables Sweet Shop on a gigantic scale. This Red Lodge institution has been a mainstay for decades, housed in a nostalgic building, overspilling with nostalgic candy. Montana Candy Emporium. Credit Mike Yardley The handmade chocolate treats at the counter are sinfully good, but being in Montana, it would be rude not to stock up on huckleberry candy. I loaded up on gob fills of huckleberry sour balls for road-trip sustenance. Relax in the garden at Red Lodge Ales, share a massive margarita and pizza with at Bogart's, grab a burger at Red Box Car or wind down with a steak and whiskey cocktail at The Pollard Hotel. Red Lodge is the quintessential place where you'll just want to kick-back, to shop, nosh and linger. Just out of town, treat yourself to an exhilarating drive on the Beartooth Highway, a 64-mile stretch of U.S. 212 from Red Lodge to Cooke City. Dubbed the most beautiful roadway in America, this jaw-dropping drive climbs to an astounding 11,000 feet above sea level. That's nearly as high as the summit of Aoraki/Mt. Cook. Completed nearly 90 years ago, its stature as a bucket-list drive has not dimmed – and it certainly lives up to its hype as the ultimate high-country route. Heading out of Red Lodge, I felt transported to Heidi's Switzerland, with lodgepole pine forests and lush meadows rolling down to meet the road. Before long, the ascent became stark and dramatic, thrusting you up higher and higher into the grip of the Beartooth Mountains. The sprawling range features 20 peaks higher than Aoraki. Mile upon mile of switchbacks serves up epic views across the sweeping snow-clad tundra and bejewelled glacial tarns of the Hellroaring and Silver Run plateaus. You end being higher on that highway, than the snow line on the plateaus, across the valley. At Vista Point, the plummeting views staring down into the jaws of the Rock Creek canyon is another highlight. Just pass the highway summit, the “Bear's Tooth” comes into view – a narrow pyramidal spire of rock, carved by glaciation, that became the namesake of the Beartooth Mountains. It's a cranking drive, if not a little vertigo-inducing! (Beartooth Highway is only open from about May to mid-October, depending on snow. They've had some late, unseasonal snow dumps in June and even July, in recent years, so check ahead that the road is open.) Beartooth Highway. Photo / Yellowstone Country Montana To the left of Billings, the plains of eastern Montana stretch out like a pancake, offering a more subtle beauty than the gnarly mountains to the west. A land of rolling hills, dusty bluffs and badlands, and the occasional rock-walled canyon, this is classic cattle and wheat country. Temperatures can be extreme; hot in the summer under a blazing sun, and brutally cold in the winter. Just over an hour southeast of Billings, I drove to Little Bighorn Valley. A sequence of low-slung hills rises above the valley - it is sacred ground because it's where the Battle of the Little Bighorn took place in 1876, between the US Army and Great Plains Indians. As many as 2,000 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors encircled and routed the US Army, in ferocious defence of their ancestral way of life. Perhaps there is no phrase in the English language that serves as a better metaphor for an untimely demise than "Custer's Last Stand." It was on the Little Bighorn battlefield, 800 acres of dry sloping prairies, that George Armstrong Custer and the soldiers of the 7th US Cavalry Regiment met their end. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument chronicles the history of this world-famous engagement, offering a coherent look at how the battle developed, where the members of Custer's contingent died on Last Stand Hill, and how it might have looked to the swarming warriors. It's very easy to traverse the 7km-long battlefield, driving along the ridgelines, to all of key sites. Last Stand Hill at little Big Horn: Credit: Mike Yardley The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Plains Indians, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull. They may have won the battle, but ultimately lost the war. Custer's death galvanised the military. In subsequent months, they tracked down Sioux and Cheyenne warriors and forced them onto reservations in North and South Dakota, ending their independent, nomadic way of life. Within a few short years they were all confined to reservations. Custer's remains were eventually reburied at the US Military Academy at West Point in 1877. Below the battlefield, the adjacent National Cemetery was established in 1879, and it incorporates a self-guided tour to some of the more significant figures buried there. It's an indelible encounter with the American story. www.greatamericanwest.co.nz Mike Yardley is our resident traveller on Jack Tame Saturday Mornings.

Today we're talking about the Beartooth Mountains in Montana, which have a history of minimal spray when it comes to ice climbing. So of course that's what we are going to do...Let's start with why should you go: One, if you're looking for first ascents or a first ascent-like day out, the Beartooths provide. Two, it's the largest uninterrupted landmass above 10,000 feet (or 3,000m) in the U.S., outside of Alaska. Three, there is not a single path to any climbing objective.In other words, if you're looking for a challenge, it's easy to find one. What's not easy to find, though, is info.That's where Akio Joy and Anju Samuelson come in... Resources and links:Learn more about the trips Aku and Anju talked about in this episode on their website: beartoothguides.comYou can connect with them on Instagram @beartoothmountainguides where they also share condition reports during the season. And here are Anju's "Soul Back Up Book" blog posts for those who are curious.This is the Gripped article about Shooting Gallery, a three pitch mixed route that Aaron Mulkey, Dane Steadman and Natalie Afonina climbed on September 10, 2020. And this is another route by Aaron Mulkey, Last Call, a 2,000 foot, 13 pitch mixed line that he sent with Tanner Callender and Chris Guyer in 2014, which gives you an idea of the type of adventure you can have in the Beartooths.Find the rest of the notes, timestamps, resources, and more on the episode page.

Dr. Bradley Johnson and his three friends embark on an annual adventure into the Beartooth Mountains of Montana. The signs at the trailhead caution folks to “Be Bear Aware”, yet in the past, Brad and his cohorts have had only one encounter with a Black Bear. Despite the low odds of an attack, they arm themselves with bear spray. During the final stretch of the 8 mile hike to their chosen camp site, Brad is anxious to get there and pushes forward, separating him from the rest of the crew. As he begins to crest the final summit, he spots not one, but two Grizzly Bears no more than 30 yards away. Before Brad can formulate a plan to distance himself, he can quickly see they are both in a full charge. As he scrambles to remove the safety of the bear spray, a lesson learned from childhood prompts him to make his next move. A move that very well played a role in saving his life. As the rest of the story unfolds, it can only be explained as a series of miracles. Brad gives credit to the strength and wisdom that GOD gave to all of those involved in ensuring his survival. This gripping story will have you on the edge of your seat. The Range Podcast can be found on all major platforms, including iTunes, Spotify and Google.

The Beartooth Pass climbs between Wyoming and Montana at an elevation close to 11,000 feet. The route through the Beartooth Mountains, Highway 212 between Cooke City and Red Lodge, contains the highest mountains in the state. Because of its elevation, the high landscape is a fragile tundra ecosystem where roads not driven in 50 years are still visible on the landscape. The highway opens on Friday morning, prior to the Memorial Day weekend. And because so much snow is piled atop the pass, skiers and snowboarders come from around the West to carve a few final turns before summer. Lately, however, snowmobile use atop the pass has increased. The machines are used to tow skiers back up the mountains, as well as just to ride. As a result, there's a crowding issue and fears of damage to the fragile environment. Brett French, Outdoors editor at the Billings Gazette, talks about the situation on this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So, who is Montana's secret admirer? This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast Downrigger Dale decided to find out. I guess you could say he was “shocked” when he found out just who it was. As Rigger put it, “I really was shocked, pardon the pun, to find out that such a big company would do something like that! Not because they had to but just because they wanted to. Mainly they just see it as the right thing to do. I suppose you are still scratching your head and wondering, who the heck are we talking about? Well odds are that many of you in Montana do business with them every month. Downrigger spent time with Kim McMahon and Andy Welch on the podcast and they talked about the Missouri-Madison River Fund, which is officially described as a “grant program that is implemented through the Missouri-Madison Comprehensive Recreation Plan. It addresses the ongoing needs for public recreation in the Missouri-Madison Project Area”. Created as a public-private partnership among local government, state and federal agencies, Project 2188 Hydroelectric Project, River Fund grants and our secret admirer's matching funds are awarded annually for qualifying projects. Now, when we say “secret” we are stretching the truth a bit, as actually it is not a secret. It is just that we, and likely most everyone else has no idea that this corporation has been doing all this wonderful stuff! Still not sure who we are talking about? Well, listen to this week's Montana Outdoor Podcast! This Podcast is packed full of all kinds of great information. In fact, in addition to talking about all the great things this wonderful company is doing that benefits areas all along the Missouri and Madison Rivers from West Yellowstone to Fort Benton and even beyond, Downrigger and his guests also talk about the company's involvement high up into the Beartooth Mountains and even down the Clark Fork River in Thompson Falls! Ok now, no cheating! AFTER you listen to the podcast then you can do the following: If you would like to Learn more about the Missouri-Madison Project, click here.

Christopher Paolini drops by the Story Craft Cafe again to talk about his new releases this year, a sci fi thriller follow up called Fractal Noise, as well as his return this fall to the world of Eragon. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E.

He found that doing some of the same things as his characters allowed him to better understand their world, as well as to think of descriptions that otherwise would not have occured to him. To this end he forged his own knives and swords, made chain mail, spun wool, camped in the Beartooth Mountains, made his own bow, built survival shelters, learned to track game, fletched arrows, felled trees, hiked, and camped. In short, the books embody a great deal of his experience of living in Montana. His work also combined elements gathered from research and from his imagination.

Armed with that information, he daydreamed the scenes with his characters. Then he took pen to paper and tried to recreate those images with words. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book, and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (which now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003. In summer 2002, author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson had read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation in Montana, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf Books For Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children's Books. Michelle Frey, executive editor at Knopf, contacted Christopher and his family to ask if they might be interested in having Knopf publish Eragon. The answer was yes, and after another round of editing, Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. The book immediately became a New York Times Best Seller. https://youtube.com/live/qzyaqkPntK0
Christopher Paolini drops by the Story Craft Cafe again to talk about his new releases this year, a sci fi thriller follow up called Fractal Noise, as well as his return this fall to the world of Eragon. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E. Feist's Magician (now available in volumes one and two), as well as books by Anne McCaffrey, Jane Yolen, Brian Jacques, E.R. Eddison, David Eddings, and Ursula K. Le Guin. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. Before he began writing Eragon, he plotted out the entire adventure. He found that doing some of the same things as his characters allowed him to better understand their world, as well as to think of descriptions that otherwise would not have occured to him. To this end he forged his own knives and swords, made chain mail, spun wool, camped in the Beartooth Mountains, made his own bow, built survival shelters, learned to track game, fletched arrows, felled trees, hiked, and camped. In short, the books embody a great deal of his experience of living in Montana. His work also combined elements gathered from research and from his imagination. He read a huge amount of folklore while growing up, ranging from the Brothers Grimm to Beowulf, Nordic sagas, and the Aeneid, along with contemporary fantasy and science fiction. In addition, he learned about weaponry, food, clothing, and customs from the Middle Ages, which is roughly the era he envisioned Eragon living in.

Larry Mayer from Billings Billings describes plan to shoot down spy balloon over Beartooth Mountains
The Upsidedown Creek Trail, in the heart of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, offers endless possibilities for adventure. The trail switchbacks through the woods, offering occasional but spectacular views of the Boulder River, Box Canyon, and the jagged peaks of the Absarokas before topping out at Horseshoe Lake. Here, you can bask in views of the Beartooth Mountains or hike a few more miles to reach Lake Plateau, a wonderland of lakes, streams, ridges, and mountains. The open terrain lets you wander to your heart's content, and the endless beauty means you can't make a bad decision about which way to go. Photo by Travis Doke

In this podcast episode, Cheyenne interviews creative cowgirls, Skye Ogilvie and Blue Borton.Skye Ogilvie is the cowgirl behind Cielo Cinches. She grew up in Western Montana where horses were her family's livelihood. In 1994, with the assistance of my friend, Rebecca Morgan-Albertson, she built her first cinch. She was only a teenager at the time, but she fell in love with mohair back then. Some 17 years later, she was approached by Rebecca to film her cinch-making DVD. By the time filming was complete, she had made up her mind that custom cinch making is what she wanted to pursue.Now, she builds custom breast collars and cinches for NFR qualifiers and Quarter Horse World finalists, to everyday working cowboys. She believes every horse and rider deserves comfortable, well-fitting gear that expresses their personality and benefits their horsemanship journey!Blue Borton lives on a ranch in Western South Dakota with her husband, Cory and a Basset Hound named Patsy. They stay busy most of the year caring for Angus cows and training horses. Blue says that she inherited her creative genes from her grandmother, Elva, who was a child of the Depression and had an appreciation of beautiful things. She knew that you could make do, reuse, and recycle before it was the trendy thing to do. She loved fine clothing and developed her skills to sew a Vogue pattern to perfection. Blue appreciates items with memories and heritage.

There are things in nature and stories from our past that help to ground us, if we take the time to take them in and learn from them. There are so many benefits to slowing down and allowing ourselves to feel.In today's podcast, Cheyenne will share the story of Cougar, a Philly that taught her one of life's greatest lessons - about timing, feeling, and faith.

2021 was a year of unprecedented loss, reflection, and growth for Cheyenne Wilson, as it was for many people. While she took a break from her podcast, it became increasingly evident that she has a message to deliver. She may not always see herself as positive or inspiring, but those who listen would beg to differ. There is a certain hope and inspiration found in her vulnerability - and, for many, her message provides a bright spot.Remembering her passion to help others and desire to share her experiences, she started recording again, this time a little differently, with a plan to share her story -- the good and the bad -- and to reveal who she is throughout the future podcast episodes.Who is Cheyenne Wilson?Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana.

My experience of backpacking the Beaten Path through the Beartooth Mountain Range in Montana.
Leap first. Look later. This way of thinking has served Cheyenne Wilson well throughout the years! And that's the exact attitude she tried to keep when it came to recording her first podcast. But, what she found was that, when it came time to actually record, she realized she was scared! And as a fifth generation rancher, there's not much that scares her! Remembering her passion to help others and desire to share her experiences, she pushed record anyway, with a plan to share her story -- the good and the bad -- and to reveal who she is throughout the future podcast episodes.

In this episode, I sit down with the lead singer and songwriter of Satsang, Drew McManus (@Satsang) to discuss finding presence within chaos. | Brought to you by The Mindful Method.McManus has spent most of his life trying to distance himself from his troubled upbringing in Des Moines and Chicago and its cycle of violence, abuse, and addiction. McManus, though, would find his peace amid family in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana, an oasis that allows him a warm hearth to recharge from the rigors of the road and practice his other passions which include painting, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and social activism.He is quoted saying, "Home is my heart, and when I'm not on tour, I'm a stay-at-home dad with four kids. My music is the self-reflection of that and the touring is the mirror.” During a month-long backpacking trip in the Himalaya Mountains in 2015, McManus realizes that as part of his recovery from addiction, he must share his life journey in poetry and song to help other lost souls. Songs of surrender, vulnerability, and perseverance pour out of him, forming the foundation of Satsang's 2016 debut, The Story of You, highlighted by "I Am", a fan-favorite hymn of self-love that has surpassed two million listens on Spotify.We discuss growing up around alcoholism and addiction and the role it's played in his life, discovering his love for music during a rock-climbing expedition to Nepal, why he says he has a love of violence, and much much more.--The episode is brought to you by The Mindful Method.

I'm talking to author Cathy Ringler on Book Talk Radio Club. Cathy Ringler is a cowgirl, storyteller and retired teacher who lives at the foot of the beautiful Beartooth Mountains in Wyoming. Her first book Miya’s Dream, tells the story of fourteen-year-old Miya who’s struggling at school and wants the perfect horse that will win every time so the rodeo kids will notice her in a good way and maybe even like her. However, Miya's hope is shattered when her "Dream" turns out to be a stubborn paint mare who has no interest in running, much less winning a barrel race.

Next to our house, buying an RV is probably the most expensive purchase you will make in a lifetime. When buying a house, it’s normal to have it checked out by a home inspector. Do you realize you can do the same thing with an RV? In this week’s RV interview of the week, we’ll introduce you to the National RV Inspectors Association of America and tell you what needs to be checked out by a pro before you sign on the dotted line. Plus this week, some great RV tips, lots of RV news and a wonderful off the beaten path report from the Burketts. [spp-player] Show Notes for Episode #207 august 29, 2018 of Roadtreking - The RV Podcast: WHAT MIKE AND JENNIFER ARE UP TO THIS WEEK Well here it is…it’s the big Labor Day Weekend. Summer’s last big hurrah and a major travel time for millions. JENNIFER I can’t believe how fast summer has gone by. It seems like we were just talking about Memorial Day and the start of summer and now Summer is coming to a close. I saw on our Roadtreking Facebook Group that our friend Campskunk awoke in the Beartooth Mountains out west to a pretty thick covering if snow the other day! Snow! Can you believe it? We’ve been sweating in the heat and humidity that has gripped most of North America these past couple of weeks but those snow pictures from Campskunk tell us what is coming. MIKE Seeing those snow pictures got me thinking about snow and winter and our annual campout in the snow that we do every January. So, Jennifer and I want you to know that we are once again taking Bo up camping at Tahquamenon Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula January 11-13, 2019. If you want to come, you need to make reservations now. JENNIFER This is an informal gathering open to all. We have a tradition of five years of doing this and Bo insists on a snow vacation before we head south. Anyway, we have reserved site 177. If you also want to head up there, you need to reserve your own spot with the Michigan DNR at Tahquamenon Falls State Park, at the Lower Falls Hemlock campground. We’ll put a link to the Michigan DNR booking site in the shownotes for this episode at Roadtreking-dot-com-slash-207 There are electric hookups at each site. MIKE If you do reserve a spot, then join our Facebook group for the winter campout. We’ll also put a link to that closed Facebook Group site in the shownotes for this episode at Roadtreking-dot-com-slash-207 Let us know there that you're coming and what spot you reserve. JENNIFER Depending on how many will also be there that weekend, we will make dinner reservations in Paradise. There will be snow shoeing, hiking and exploring. All kinds of RVs are welcome! Here’s the RV News of the week: Bear attacks boy, 10, hiking with family at Yellowstone A 10-year-old boy was attacked by a bear at Yellowstone National Park last week while hiking with his family up Divide Trail. The bear appeared out of the bush and charged the family, causing the boy to flee. The bear chased the boy, knocking him to the ground, while his parents got out their bear spray, sprayed the bear in the face, enabling them to grab their son and flee. The boy was taken to an area hospital and is expected to be ok. But the report got me thinking back to an interview we did on the podcast two years ago with an expert on Bear Spray. (Click here to listen.) Bear spray is something everyone should have when hiking in bear country. To learn more about the Yellowstone attack, click here. Man caught on video harassing a Yellowstone bison apologizes, sentenced to 130 days behind bars Speaking of Yellowstone, do you remember the report we shared with you recently about the man caught on video taunting a bison at Yellowstone National Park late last month? The man apologized in court last week, and pleaded guilty to four charges tied to drunken misbehavior at both Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. His sentence included 130 days behind bars,
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Friday, July 21st, 2017 Early morning Friday, I awake to a most spectacular view: the Beartooth Mountains from the top of Beartooth Pass, at about 10,900 feet above sea level. As you may remember, I had to pull off the road to sleep last night since I encountered a road block in the middle of the night between Yellowstone National Park and my next destination, the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The Beartooth Pass drive is incredible, a worthy destination in itself. I'm very glad I chose this longer route, I can't imagine any other northern route would come close to its beauty. The drive from the pass to the Little Bighorn is a happy and thoughtful one. I have the deep glow of satisfaction from reveling in the spectacular natural beauty of Yellowstone National Park and Custer-Gallatin National Forest combined with the physical afterglow which follows vigorous exercise from my fast hike up Mt. Washburn. But during the long drive, I also think a lot about the events which occurred at the site I'm approaching, so I've grown a little somber as well....
Having mediated hundreds of church splits and forced pastoral exits, I’ve never seen a pastor lose his pulpit because of poor Hebrew skills. Poor technical skills (exegesis, preaching, leading, etc.) can certainly weaken pastoral ministry, but they will seldom destroy it. When a pastor is forced to leave a church, it is almost always because of conflict and relational failure, either with a leadership team, a spouse or a church faction. In this Pastors Resource Call we will look at six core relational skills that can help pastors get upstream of conflict and build a relationship in their family and church that restore the joy of ministry and provide a compelling witness to the transforming power of Jesus and his gospel. Ken Sande was the founder of Peacemakers which he led for over 30 years. In 2011, he sensed that God was calling him to shift his focus from resolving conflict to preventing conflict by building healthy relationships. He began to develop and teach a concept called“relational wisdom” or simply “RW.” He also had the privilege of serving as an Editorial Adviser for Christianity Today's Building Church Leaders, Managing Your Church, and Church Law and Tax panels. He is a Certified Christian Conciliator™, as well as a Certified Emotional Intelligence Instructor, trained through TalentSmart. In his free time, he enjoys reading, running, hiking, and skiing in the Beartooth Mountains just south of his home in Billings, Montana. He and his wife Corlette are members of Great Plains Gathering (PCA), a church plant dedicated to bringing the hope and peace of the gospel to the Native Americans in our community.
In this episode we answer lots of reader questions, check out the RV news of the week, offer some tech tips and learn all about the many benefits of having a dash cam in your RV. Our guest in the second half of the show is Dewey DeVane, the owner of Windshield Witness, the company that makes the dash cam I use in our RV to document our travels and capture the beautiful scenery Jennifer and I encounter as we travel North America. [spp-player] Shownotes for Roadtreking Podcast Episode 36 First, though, Jennifer and I answer a bunch of listener questions aimed at Jennifer, on topics about what items we permanently keep in the Roadtrek, what pots and pans she takes on our trips and how we share the driving and the chores in our RV.

But as I say in this post, I'm not having much success - http://pcmike.com/has-apple-finally-become-too-elitist/ I also talk about the Belkin Net Cam. Being an RV owner, I spend a lot of time on the road. However, I still like to keep tabs on what's going on at home. With the Belkin NetCam HD Plus, I can check in on the house while I'm gone. With the Belkin NetCam HD Plus, you can literally watch your home from anywhere.

But that's not all! The push-to-talk feature lets you communicate directly with anyone on the screen, such as a house sitter or family member who couldn't join the trip.
