Why does it feel like U.S. ports are stuck in the past while the rest of the world is fully automated? This episode with Lauren Beagen—lawyer, founder of The Maritime Professor®, and host of By Land and By Sea—dives into why maritime regulations matter, what tech labor negotiations are really about, and how tariffs are a lot more about vibes than rules. From dock safety to global competitiveness, we explore the big-picture forces shaping the future of port operations and maritime shipping. Key takeaways: • 93% of ports globally are not fully automated, despite the narrative. • The FMC's role is flag-neutral but laser-focused on protecting U.S. importers and exporters. • Tariffs are less about policy and more about political posturing. • Diversifying ports of entry is critical—but not always feasible due to specialized infrastructure needs. • Labor/tech tensions stem from generational divides, safety, and global competitiveness.LINKS:Lauren's LinkedInThe Maritime Profession XThe Maritime Professor WebsiteSquall Strategies WebsiteWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

In this episode, we discuss a very special, local topic we've been dying to do: The Phoenix Lights, which is celebrating 25 years. First, Cody discusses a conspiracy theory involving flares, balloons, and a man named Mail-o. Then, Chris talks about Dr. Lynne Kitei, a retired healthcare professional, who has given the world the best video recording of the incident. Next, Cody shares a more current sighting - in 2019 - that is just as unexplained, and one which some have claimed to be associated with The Phoenix Lights. Finally, Chris talks about two very different eyewitness encounters, one who saw it all from the ground, and a pilot who saw it from the air. This week's drinks are Papago Cherry Blossom and Coca Cola Starlight.Advisory: 0:00s-0:20sIntro Music: 0:20s-:45sTopic: 0:45s-2:52mDrinks: 2:52m-4:38mHistory: 4:38m-9:53mFlares and Balloons: 9:53m-16:07mDr. Lynne Kitei: 16:07m-22:35mTrailer: 22:35m-23:12m2019 Sightings: 23:12m-28:10mBy Air and By Land: 28:10m-33:20mSkeptic: 33:20m-36:32mBeliever: 36:32m-38:55mCreep of the Week: 38:55m-41:05mSign Off: 41:05m-42:24mOriginal Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at https://www.purple-planet.comTo find other strange podcasts, follow our network: https://podmoth.network/LinksHistoryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_LightsFlares and Balloons:https://www.livescience.com/2483-mysterious-phoenix-lights-ufo-hoax.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3APhoenix_LightsLynne Kitei-https://www.ufocasebook.com/intriguepersists.htmlhttps://www.phoenixmag.com/2017/03/03/q-a-with-dr-lynne-kitei-on-20th-anniversary-of-phoenix-lights/http://www.thephoenixlights.net/Magazine_Articles/March_2007_UFO_Magazine.pdf2019 Sightings:https://www.abc15.com/news/region-southeast-valley/mesa/mysterious-lights-hovering-over-mesa-skies-puzzles-residentshttps://www.gaia.com/article/the-new-phoenix-lights-sighting-rekindles-mystery-of-the-90sBy Land and Air-http://www.thephoenixlights.net/Magazine_Articles/March_2007_UFO_Magazine.pdfSkeptic-https://www.gaia.com/article/the-new-phoenix-lights-sighting-rekindles-mystery-of-the-90shttps://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/08-05-21/Creep of the Week-https://www.livescience.com/us-government-investigate-ufos

Bonie Shupe is the GM and Director of Product at Ibex. After a long history of creating some amazing products, Ibex closed its doors a few years ago, but has since been bought and rebooted. Bonie is the brains behind product design and is working hard to create the same great quality merino products that Ibex was known for.When I learned Ibex was back up and running again, I had to know more so I asked Bonie if she'd be willing to come on for a chat. My original intention was to learn more about Ibex, their history, and what they're up to but, as luck would have it, I stumbled onto some profound advice from Bonie based on her experience as an endurance athlete.Yes, this is an episode about Ibex, their products, and how amazing Merino Wool is but, that's just scratching the surface. Bonie takes the time to educate me on the differences of between 100% merino and blended merino, how merino is being used as insulation in garments now, and what it's like getting to reboot a beloved brand.More importantly, Bonie walks me through how she manages herself during endurance events. This is where the gold is, and this is where you'll come away with a new perspective after hearing Bonie speak about her love for pushing her body.I came away from our conversation feeling enlightened, educated, and with a new friend and I think you will too!

Doug Laher is the Father of Thru-Hiker Trevor “Microsoft” Laher who tragically passed away while hiking near Apache Peak along the PCT. He was 11 days into his hike when conditions along the trail deteriorated quickly, putting him in a decision to either push through or find another way around. The section of trail he was on had been close for years until this point so any and all tribal knowledge of potential risks had been long since forgotten leaving Trevor and his new hiking partners to gauge for themselves what they should and shouldn't do. Trevor was 22 years old, a graduate of Ohio State, and had a software engineering job waiting for him at Microsoft once his hike of the PCT was complete. He had a determined soul, a brilliant mind, and reflective in all respects. His love of hiking continued to grow year after year and the PCT was to be his pinnacle dream.In the months since Trevor's passing, Doug has taken up a mission to educate hikers on how to approach risks, gauge safety, and make sure PCT hikers know of the dangers of Apache Peak and that section of trail. Doug joins me to tell the story of his Son so that others may learn from it. I'm incredibly honored and humbled to be a small part of Trevor's legacy and I urge all of you who hear his story to take heed of Doug's message and embrace the alternate when and if conditions call for it.By Land,Emory R.

Ryan and Hillary Lampers are the husband and wife the team behind “Hunt, Harvest, Health,” a health and wellness company dedicated to promoting a healthy backcountry lifestyle. They offer everything from a Podcast, Nutrition Consultations, A Western Hunting Summit, and even natural supplements. Ryan and Hillary are passionate about helping others achieve a healthy lifestyle and have the experience and knowledge to do just that.On this episode of The By Land Podcast, I sit down with Ryan and Hillary to discuss the benefits of CBD for backpackers. This is, as we all know, resonably new territory for the majority of the population, but as I'm sure you've heard by now through the grapevine, CBD is a pretty incredible and NATURAL supplement you can use to battle a number of ailments, to include inflammation while on the trail. For my PCT hike in 2017, I popped Ibuprofin 3 times a day for 5 months straight and it worked, but I'm also not one to rely on medication for much and it bothered me that I was taking so much of it. This is why I wanted to learn about the benefits of CBD from Ryan and Hillary. We cover not JUST CBD, but how to achieve a healthy body AND mind. Hillary takes this episode by storm and deep dives into the science behind what is happening in our bodies so if you're looking to gain a better understanding of how everything works, this is the episode for you!

“Hunting is Conservation” has become by far the most popular slogan in the hunting/conservation industry in the past few years. If you're a hunter, you're well acquainted with its meaning because literally any and all conservation organizations promote hunting as THE way to preserve and protect wild animals in modern times. But, what if hunting ISN'T conservation? I've personally never accepted the idea that hunting is the ONLY way to conserve an animal population, but I can accept that hunting is one of MANY ways to do so. Kevin Bixby is the Executive Director of the SW Environmental Center and recently published an article titled “Why Hunting Isn't Conservation and Why It Matters” and I asked him on the show for this episode to help me better understand what he means by this. By no means is this an anti-hunting article, in fact Kevin is a hunter himself and is the first to admit that hunting has played a key role in the preservation of American big game animals. That said, he feels the modern conservation model needs to change in a way that reflects the values of ALL those interested in the preservation of wildlife. If you're interested in reading the full article, you can find a link to this article in the show notes.I sincerely enjoyed picking Kevin's brain about the subject and I know that many hunters might fall out of their chairs just looking at the title of this episode, but I'd encourage those who have a vested interest in wildlife in North America, that they hear the message Kevin is putting out there and decide for yourself if you think the modern conservation model needs a facelift or not.Enjoy!By Land,Emory R.

Ben Crawford first appeared on the podcast for Episode 50, right after he and his family thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2018. Since then, he's been working on writing a book about their family story and just recently published it for all to read and enjoy. I had the pleasure of having Ben on the podcast yet again to talk about the book, the writing process, and the experiences he had putting it together. If you're a family that enjoys the outdoors, or you one day WANT a family that enjoys the outdoors, I'd highly recommend exploring what Ben and his family are up to and how they approach parenting. And, if you're wanting to help support an awesome family, go buy the book (links below)!BOOK DESCRIPTION:Ben Crawford is an entrepreneur, author, and influencer who, along with his wife, Kami, and their six children, set the record in 2018 for the largest family and youngest female (7-year-old Filia Crawford) to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. His greatest goal is to discover the full potential of the human family, and to empower people to find freedom by questioning the status quo. Ben's previous book, Unleash Your Family, details the Crawfords' approach to turning the chaos of quarantine life into structured creativity. On his YouTube channel, Fight For Together, Ben aims to challenge existing perspectives on marriage, family, parenting, and self-awareness--through everything from running ultramarathons with young children, to experimenting with authority by living a year with no rules. The Crawfords live just outside Cincinnati, where they are currently planning their next adventure. By Land,Emory R.

This past fall I launched my the LEARN HOW TO BACKPACK backpacking course for those out there who are just beginning to dip their toes into this whole backpacking hobby. I've mentioned it on the show before but wanted to take some time to talk about why I created it and who it's for.Since me telling you about a course isn't all THAT helpful, I've also included a few of the topics that I cover in the course. They are FINDING YOUR BACKPACKING STYLE, MANAGING EXPECTATIONS, AND MANAGING YOUR BODY. Each one of these I cover in the course so I thought I'd share them with you on this episode.

Chad Lubinski messaged me a few years ago after my PCT hike asking questions about how to section hike various portions of the PCT through Oregon because he'd never really considered any sort of hiking or backpacking outside of the hunting season. Since that first interaction, Chad has dived headfirst into backpacking. In 2019 he battled his first big chunk of miles along the PCT and just one year later he completed his first-ever thru-hike of the John Muir Trail. That one single thru-hike that put him through the wringer forced him to adapt to the changing conditions of the trail and when he came out the other side, he had a brand new lease on backpacking. It was like a rocket ship to backcountry freedom because when he came home, he went to work pounding out the miles as often as he could down some of the best trails Oregon and Washington have to offer.In this episode, if the By Land Podcast, Chad shares his personal story, lessons learned, and what it's like to hit the backcountry with confidence.By Land,Emory R.

This episode of the By Land Podcast might get uncomfortable for hunters because I'm going to take a very hard and very uncomfortable look at the reality of what hunting culture actually is in 2020. This is not a topic that I take lightly. I've been sorting this out in my head for a long time now and thought it was time to put this out to listeners for them to consider as well.This episode is a sort of thought experiment. We'll dive into a number of questions regarding my own realities when it comes to hunting and what it is and isn't, explore a hypothetical question of how long it would take for hunting ethics to breakdown, and lastly what this means for hunting in the future if my assumptions are correct.This was not an easy episode to put together and I expect it will not be easy to listen to for some hunters out there who believe that their own version of hunting is the REAL version of hunting.I'll also dive into my concerns on whether or not echo chambers exist within minority factions of hunting communities and how that may be damaging to the future of hunting as a whole if left unaddressed.Episode 120 a loaded one and for those who decide to stick around, I hope it sparks conversation within your own small social circles so that we as a collective can begin to find solutions to the harsh reality of modern hunting culture.By Land,Emory R.

Mark Huelsing is a Dad, Husband, hunter, and just so happens to work at Exo Mountain Gear, however, on this episode of The By Land Podcast, we go in a bit of a different direction. No gear talk and no hunting stories (ok..maybe one). I've always appreciated Mark's insight that goes beyond the generic gear talk. Anytime I need an outside opinion on something, he's ready and willing to offer a thoughtful perspective.I reached out to Mark and asked if he'd want to come on the show to chat. He initially told me he probably didn't have anything important to talk about, but after shooting me a few things he'd been thinking about lately, we set a time and made it happen.This is NOT a gear episode. Instead, this is more of a conversation you'd have at the end of a long day on the trail or hunt while sitting around a campfire. We cover everything from why it's good for you to be bad at something, the feeling of needing to be productive with your time in the outdoors while also wanting to relax, and the realization that some of us might not ever be the worlds greatest hunter.If you're in the mood for a conversation that explores more than just gear and stories, this is the one for you. I'm incredibly grateful Mark was willing to open up about these topics and I'd encourage each of you listening to do the same. Ask yourself the hard questions and see what comes of it.By Land,Emory R.

Out of the blue in 2017 I realized I had been sitting on a pile of camouflage hunting gear that I only used once a year during the hunting season. The remainder of the year it sat in boxes gathering dust. Literally thousands of dollars worth of camo that I wasn't using and wouldn't use anytime outside of the hunting season.I concluded it was time to quit camouflage and swap those items out with solids in order to optimize my purchases. Since doing so, I haven't looked back.This episode is a spin off of the original article I wrote called “3 Reasons You Should Consider Quitting Camouflage.” It has since become my MOST popular article on the site so I figured I'd do a full episode going through the 3 reasons I think YOU should consider quitting camouflage as well.Enjoy!By Land,Emory R.

I've been on the hunt for a lightweight mountain rifle for a few years now and just recently learned of Bergara Rifles USA after a friend said I should check them out. I looked them up and reached out to learn more and the next thing I knew, I was on the phone with Tony Smotherman talking about the Bergara backstory. Since this is a backpacking podcast, I think we're due for an episode regarding a backpacking friendly mountain rifle. That's exactly what the Bergara Premier Series Mountain Rifle 2.0 is. It's light, durable, and comes in a number of popular hunting calibers.This episode might be focused on getting to know Bergara and what they do best, but I think it's more than that. Tony shares his personal story of how he got into the outdoors and I think it's something a lot of people can relate to.This is what I love about this podcast. I can cover something as simple as a backcountry rifle and the company that makes it while simultaneously driving home the idea that we all have something in common, regardless of where we are from and what we do in the backcountry.For those backcountry hunters out there listening, you'll FOR SURE want to check out Bergara after this episode. And for those non-hunters, I think you'll still enjoy the episode from the perspective of learning about other outdoor cultures.By Land,Emory R.

Chris Niccolls has been reviewing cameras and camera systems on YouTube for years now. If the system exits, there's a pretty solid chance he's not only had his hands on it, but he's been able to run it through it's paces and created a video about it. This is what Chris does; he learns about the tech, the features, and the capabilities of the entire camera system as a whole so YOU, the viewer, can decide whether or not it's going to work for you or not.This is exactly why I wanted to talk to Chris. To hear from his perspective what is important in a camera system and how to choose one of your own for backcountry adventuring.If you're into photography or videography and you're searching for a system to call your own, this episode should no doubt help you on your search.By Land,Emory R.

Aron Snyder is the President of Kifaru International, a household name and brand in the world of backcountry hunting. When I first heard of Aron, I was commuting to and from work an hour each way and spent a lot of that time learning as much as I could from his experiences via podcasting because at the time, I was beginning to get nice and cozy with the idea of backpack hunting. I needed as much information as possible and that's what I got along with a lot of entertainment.Aron has spent a lot of time in the field learning things that you can only learn IN THE FIELD. He's succeeded, failed, and succeeded again and, as you'll hear in this episode, it's the getting the reps in that count. Nothing is a substitute for miles and time in the backcountry because that's what ACTUALLY teaches you what you need to learn. Once that experience is gained, you'll look back and see that those spreadsheets you made detailing every single nut and bolt you carried with you are actually not so useful after all. You'll no longer care about how much an item weighs because you'll already know that information and you'll know HOW that item fits into your kit and WHY it's there in the first place.Backpacking will become second nature at some point and that's when the doors begin to open for you.This episode with Aron Snyder is littered with incredible insight from a guy who designs packs for a living, runs a backcountry hunting company, and has put a countless amount of hours in the field doing the hard work. When he speaks, listen closely and take he says and apply it to your own backcountry efforts.From getting to know where Aron came from and how he came to work for Kifaru to what ACTUALLY matters out there, it's all in this episode and you'll no doubt come away with some great nuggets of wisdom.By Land,Emory R.

There is no “one size fits all” solution for backcountry footwear. The wall of shoes at your local outdoor store should be proof enough of that, but how in the world are you supposed to choose? It's a process, just like anything else, and that's exactly why Josh Kirchner is back on the show to share his journey with backcountry footwear.Josh is the voice behind Dialed In Hunter and a number of other great publications. He's put a lot of miles under his feet in the deserts of Arizona chasing wild critters and has learned a few things about what works and what doesn't FOR HIM when it comes to backcountry footwear. In this episode, we dive into a discussion on where to even begin finding the right boot or shoe and techniques on how to then massage the fit and feel to where it works for your foot.If you're struggling to figure out this whole footwear thing for backpacking, this is the episode you'll want to tune into!By Land,Emory R.

While new markets grow and climate concerns increase, interest in finding faster, cleaner, and more profitable delivery solutions are popping up across the globe.“Last Mile” logisticsAs online shopping consumes a larger part of the traditional “brick & mortar” retail market, new solutions for getting products into your hands faster are producing some interesting delivery services.

In this episode of The By Land Podcast, we're going to get to know Brad and Jason of Argali Outdoors. Together, they are the driving forces behind Argali, the incredible films being produced, and the “why” behind why Argali exists in the first place. Knowing “why” you do what you do is the one thing that you can look back on when making both personal and business decisions and it's pretty clear that Jason and Brad defined that first before doing anything else.Brad was on the show a while back talking about one if their films, but a few things have changed since then so I thought it would be great to have Argali back on to update everyone on what they're up to nowadays. We ended up have a great chat that to me is a great way to get to know who is behind Argali so you as a consumer and viewer have a better understanding of where they're coming from and where they're going.Please enjoy this chat with Brad and Jason!By Land,Emory R.

I wouldn't change a single thing about my 2017 hike of the Pacific Crest Trail because what happened out there made it MY hike and I love it for what it was. That said, we can't help but reflect on the things we'd do differently and I like to think of it as learning valuable lessons rather than being unhappy with various aspects of my hike.I've had three years to digest my lessons learned and have come away with a short list of things I'd do differently if I had to do it all over again from scratch. Some are PCT specific, others are not. Even if you're not planning on hiking the PCT or any other long trail, I think you'll benefit from some of the items on my list.To those who ARE planning a hike sometime down the road, know this - you'll never be 100% ready and NOTHING will go as planned. You're going to make mistakes along the way, but as long as you learn from them then that's all that matters.By Land,Emory R.

In light of the current situation around the world, I think we needed to come together as a podcast family for a bit just to check-in on each other. During this show that was recorded live on Friday night, April 17, 2020, we shared creative split stay ideas!  How about the "By Land or By Sea" split? How about the "Ultimate Resort" 11 resort split?  We get some great calls during this hour!  If you need a bit of a pick-me-up, this show might do the trick. Thank you sincerely for always being a part of our podcast community. We have something special here and together, we will make it through this stronger than before. Blessings - Mike

Paul Medel has spent a lifetime learning as much as he can about elk. From the time he first heard a bugle on a tape as a young man, he knew he had to know more and that's what he set out to do. For over 20 years, Paul has been educating people on the ins and outs of how elk talk to each other and has helped countless hunters notch a tag during the fall hunting seasons.This episode isn't about hunting though. It's about Paul and his passion for elk and elk calling. Even if you don't hunt elk or know nothing about it at all, I think you'll have a hard time not smiling from ear to ear while you hear Paul talk about why he loves calling elk so much. His energy is contagious and his passion is deep.I believe it is good for us to learn as much as we can about the world around us. Even if you never blow through an elk call or hunt them in the fall, knowing what they sound like and what they mean when they make that sound puts you in a unique position to become PART OF THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE. Elk are incredible creatures and the sounds they make are even more incredible. By the end of this episode, you might actually find yourself wanting to try calling one in yourself even if only to take a closer look.Enjoy!By Land,Emory R.

When my Wife and I first got pregnant, I was told by far too many people to count that our days hiking and wandering the woods would be brought to a screeching halt. Demoralizing is putting it lightly but lucky for me, my Wife and I were on the same page and determined to figure out how to pair hiking and backpacking with having kids.I've done a number of episodes prior to this one showcasing the experiences of others raising kids in the outdoors, but now that we have a solid year and a half under my belt, (yep, still a lot to learn) I thought I'd share what we've learned so far.By no means do we have it figured out. It's a learning process each time we go out, but I think for the most part we've done a great job and had really positive experiences. Heck, we even backpacked with our little girl when she was 9 months old!If you have kids or want to have kids, I think you'll find this episode pretty helpful and encouraging at the very least. If you don't have kids, it's still going to be helpful because you likely know someone who has them and is struggling to get them outside so now you'll be able to offer some tips and tricks.Enjoy!By Land,Emory R.

I never thought in a million years I'd ever be one to hike 20-30 miles in a single day. Those numbers are daunting if you've never done it and having felt the pain that can come from a 10 mile day I figured doubling or tripling that number was a feat I'd never be able to do. As it turns out, I CAN do big miles because I put into practice a specific process that works for me.On this episode, I'm going to dive in to my process for hiking big miles. From start to finish, I'll walk you through my approach and even cove the benefits of hiking so many miles in a single day.If you dream of hiking a long trail or want to pack in more miles, more views, and more experiences into your weekend trips, this episode is for you!By Land,Emory R.

Have you ever had a drive to maybe start your own outdoor website, podcast, or even a YouTube channel? Over the past few years, I've had a lot of conversations with people who are thinking about it but don't know if it's worth doing or not. They have a voice, but either don't know where to begin or just need a little nudge to get over the fear of putting themselves out there. If that's you, this episode is for you!I asked my good friend Josh Kirchner on the show to talk about his journey with his website, Dialed In Hunter. What began as a simple passion project writing for free to those out there wanting a straightforward narrative on what it's like to be a hunter and a real person has now turned into something where Josh ACTUALLY gets paid to write. You heard that correctly, Josh USED to write for FREE, but now he gets PAID to do it. How cool is that?!Josh and I dive into the weirdness of starting something online and discuss the personal benefits that can come of it even if you never see a single cent come your way.Enjoy!By Land,Emory R.

To celebrate Episode 100, my Wife, Jessica, joins me on the podcast to talk about what it was like for her when I hiked the PCT in 2017. We always hear about the trials and tribulations of a hiker, but we never hear what it's like being the loved one at home waiting for a hike to wrap up. Be it a spouse, friend, family member, or significant other, those left behind during a Thru Hike are left sorting through a an emotional journey of their own.Those we love reliably answer poorly timed phone calls, offer words of encouragement when in need of their own, ship off needed items to random locations they've never been to in hopes that it arrives in time, and patiently wait at home praying for the safety of their hiker. They balance the load for us emotionally and their voices are often never heard.When the dust settles and the hike is complete, they don't have memories of tall peaks, beautiful valleys, or quiet morning walks in the woods, rather they're left to live the trail life from afar, merely peering inside from time to time when able in hopes to glean some form of relief. If they could be there they would, each and every step of the way, mile for mile.For me, Jess was my rock. My reason for pushing and no doubt the only reason I was able to hike so many miles that summer. She was far more dedicated to me, than I was to the trail and I'll forever be grateful for all she did for me.This episode is dedicated not only to my Wife, but to all those who support thru hikers on long trails. You'll never really know how important you are to the journey.By Land,Emory R.

On this episode of The By Land Podcast, we get to know Garage Grown Gear and one of the co-founders, Lloyd Vogal.Garage Grown Gear offers backpacking products you're not likely to find in big box stores like REI. They focus specifically on cottage brands that could be just one or two people deep and making products by hand. By partnering with smaller cottage brands to represent them in their marketplace, these startups can grow significantly faster and reach a wider audience. As GGG likes to say, it's like the “farm to table” version of backpacking gear.If you're looking to find new gear from up and coming brands, you'll want to be sure to take Garage Grown Gear for a spin.By Land,Emory R.

Woody Hartman wasn't expecting to climb Mount Everest in 2019, but sometimes life takes some interesting turns and before you know it, you're doing something you never thought you would.On this episode, we dive into how Woody found himself on the summit of Everest, what it took to get there, and what it all means now that it's over. This is no doubt one of my favorite conversations because Woody is about as grounded as they come and allows us to peer into how he's learned to adapt to changing life circumstances. He also walks us through his journey through how he learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable and why it's so important to dream bit, take risks, and use our goals as a catalyst for other adventures and life situations.You'll love this episode with Woody!By Land,Emory R.

On this episode, I talk with Kyle O'Grady of The Trail Tales Podcast about what it's like dealing with the “Post Trail Blues.” We talk a lot about the grand adventure when we're ON it or look back at it fondly when we're not, but we rarely talk about what it's like after it's all over. For most of us, we're left with a sense of wondering what we're supposed to do next. We've built an identity around this adventure and now that it's no longer something to look forward to we tend to slip into a slight depression.Kyle spent his high school and college years planning to hike the Appalachian Trail and when he graduated he did it. Then he went back to work and was left to sort it all out on his own.We talk about what the Post Trail Blues are, why it happens, and what we can do to deal with it. We also get to know who Kyle is and what he's all about.By Land,Emory R.

A goal of mine for 2019 was to go bear hunting in an area I'd always wanted to explore. My window of opportunity was closing so I got the green light from my Wife and headed out this past weekend for a solo backpack hunt.When I got there and my excitement wore off, I started to feel heavy. I was glassing this huge basin for bears as the sun was going down, but it just wasn't doing anything for me. All I could think about was my little girl being tucked in at home and how much more rich this experience would be if she and my wife were here with me. Hell, even just a walk in the woods would be more enjoyable than what I was currently doing.After exploring this feeling of wanting to be home, I realized that I just wasn't feeling it that day. As the sun went down, I packed my things and hiked out in the dark.This episode explores what happened, why, and what it all means.By Land,Emory R.
