W tym odcinku przedstawiamy fascynującą historię Kamila i jego samotnej ekspedycji na Alaskę, którą odbył w lipcu 2024 roku. Przemierzając 226-kilometrową trasę z Nome do Wales na półwyspie Seward, Kamil realizował swoją wizję wyprawy w dziki, nieznany świat, połączoną z odkrywaniem lokalnej rdzennej kultury. Pretekstem do tej czterotygodniowej podróży były 50-te urodziny Kamila, które stały się momentem przełomowym, skłaniającym go do porzucenia codziennych obowiązków i zanurzenia się w przygodzie. W trakcie eskapady doświadczył majestatycznej przyrody, która zainspirowała go do głębokich refleksji, oraz spotkań z mieszkańcami Alaski, dzięki którym lepiej zrozumiał wpływ cywilizacji na nawet najbardziej odległe zakątki świata. Nietypowy charakter wyprawy Kamila — bikerafting, czyli połączenie jazdy na rowerze i spływu pontonem — był ukłonem w stronę współczesnych eksploratorów Alaski, takich jak Roman Dial, Steve Fassbinder, Chris Burkard, Luc Mehl i Bjorn Olson, którzy przemierzają ten surowy teren w ten właśnie sposób. Podcast zabiera słuchaczy w ekscytującą podróż, gdzie człowiek staje się częścią potężnej, dzikiej natury. Podkast Rowerowy wspiera kampanie społeczną Trzymaj Pion prowadzoną przez Grupę Żywiec.

This week, photographer and adventurer Chris Burkard returns to the show to talk about moving to Iceland and his experience racing the Tour Divide this summer. Having spent the last decade exploring and documenting Iceland, Chris finally made the big move with his family. He tells Payson about why he decided the time was right, what it's been like as a parent to watch his sons assimilate so quickly into the community, and how the current seismic activity has made him ponder the morality of documenting natural disasters. He also talks about his grueling journey on the Tour Divide, complete with persistent mechanicals, an emotional voicemail, and an incident with a canister of bear spray that definitely isn't what you'd think. He might've wanted to burn all his bikes by the end of it, but he's already thinking about going back. Instagram: @theadventurestache

Jess Mudgett is an artist, skater, surfer, and occasional ranch hand who specializes in one-of-a-kind designs that appear everywhere from murals in the rural West to the Yeti offices in downtown Austin. Fans of Jess's work can spot his art from a mile away– he's known for bold, often-times big portrayals of western landscapes, horses, birds, people, and more, all presented in a style that is uniquely his own. If you're not familiar with Jess's art, I'd encourage you to visit his Instagram page while listening– there's a link in the notes for you to click through. - Jess was raised in Fort Collins, Colorado, and grew up obsessed with and fully committed to skateboarding. While attending art school in Portland, he dropped out to go on a professionally funded skate trip, which ultimately led to getting his foot in the door with the art department of a skate company.  After a few years, Jess returned to school to earn his degree, and his path as a professional artist was set. Currently, Jess is based in Portland, but spends big portions of the year traveling the West in his truck, creating art for a wide variety of well-known companies and individuals. - Jess and I met up at my house in Colorado Springs and had a fun conversation about his life as an artist. We started out discussing his upbringing in Fort Collins and how skating and art became the focus of his life. We discuss his creative process, his partnerships with popular brands, and his relationship with the renowned photographer (and past podcast guest) Chris Burkard. Jess describes his time working on Mark Carter's Wyoming ranch, his lifestyle of living on the road, how he pushes through self-doubt, his love of tattoos, and some of the artists who have inspired him over the years. And what I loved most about this conversation was Jess's overall vibe of deep gratitude and true humility– I think you'll be inspired by his approach to life and art. - And as a surprise, Jess created a special Mountain & Prairie design that I know you'll love– I sure do. I'm going to be offering this design on special edition t-shirts, stickers, and coffee mugs in the Mountain & Prairie shop. If you want to check out the collection, follow the link in the notes. It's an awesome design, and I'm honored that Jess took the time to create such a unique piece just for Mountain & Prairie listeners. - Once again, thanks for taking the time to listen. I hope you enjoy this conversation with the great Jess Mudgett. --- Jess on Instagram SHOP: Jess Mudgett x M&P Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/jess-mudgett/ Writers for the Wild with David Gessner and Craig Childs --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 4:10 – Jess discusses growing up and  the role his parents played in his childhood 6:00 – Jess talks about how skateboarding became a part of his life and art 7:15 – Jess discusses the next step in his life after high school: going to art school 13:45 – Jess and Ed talk about surfing 16:30 – Jess discusses his life after art school, including how he worked his way into NHS skate company 23:30 – Jess talks about his current lifestyle, including living out of his truck 26:45 – Jess discusses his stint working on a ranch at the beginning of COVID, as well as how it changed him 31:15 – Jess talks about how he manages his creative time 35:30 – Jess discusses his relationship with Chris Burkard, as well as why he thinks Chris has been so successful 41:45 – Jess talks about tattoos becoming a part of his life 43:45 – Jess describes his art as he sees it today 44:30 – Jess talks about the artists who inspire him 47:15 – Jess discusses self-criticism in his work 47:45 – Jess talks about how his relationship with Yeti began 51:00 – Jess talks about the times in his artistic career when he has felt like quitting 53:45 – Jess's advice for your creatives 58:45 – Jess's book recommendations 1:00:30 – Jess's parting words of wisdom --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

For over 25 years, he has worked with numerous Olympians, Paralympians, World Champion Athletes, Grand Slam Champions, Fortune 500 companies, NCAA colleges including LSU, Duke and the University of Minnesota, Nissan, along with football clubs such as Rangers, Benfica and PSG. An author of 5 best selling books, Allistair is also a 29 time marathon finisher and former 5 time World Championship competitor in the sport of Duathlon (which he explains to us!). We spoke about his journey from Ballymena, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and to Florida (where he lives!)... and why champion minded became his calling after a very successful personal sporting career. He unpacked what separates the best of the best, and why joy and fun is so important in elite team environments - but also when children are participating in sport - that must be the goal! Allistair leaned into coachability, work ethic, attitude and hunger, and why these ingredients are vital.

He has worked with the European Tour, ORRECO, British Canoeing, Bradford Bulls, Ryder Cup Team Europe, Harlequins rugby, and the Italian Rugby Federation.

We spoke about the life of a caddy in pro golf - we had caught up with David during the Irish Open when he was caddying for Paul Dunne. David discussed the nutritional and hydration requirements for going round a golf course, and other key pieces that could improve performance during a round of 18.

David explained live energy and carb coding from the innovative app - and behavioural change. Highlights:

Do you ever think that the people most qualified to perform particular tasks are those who have an intimate knowledge of that task? For example, an ex-footballer or rugby player might be best suited for a job as a referee. How about sports photography? If you've participated in a sport and know exactly what the performers are going through, do you think that might help you to frame even better pictures? Maybe that's why today's podcast guest Jack Schofield has risen to the top of the triathlon photography world so quickly. Not only does Jack take some brilliant photos, he's also a pretty decent triathlete himself. Earlier this year he finished second overall at the age group only Ironman UK and just a few days before we chatted he had completed this year's Ironman World Championships in Kona. In fact, Jack was splitting his time between preparing for the race and taking photos for Ruth Astle on her Thursday Kona race day. Dividing your energies like this is challenging and we get into this topic, as well as: The conversion from rowing to triathlon How studying architecture helps him to frame good photographs How understanding exactly what triathletes go through helps him frame good photos Training with Patrick Lange and other elite triathletes Jack has a rant about triathletes who use but don't pay for finish-line photos To find out more about Jack he hangs out mostly on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/two26_photography/ www.Instagram.com/jackyscho/   In our conversation, Jack talked about his first photography book which he also (unsurprisingly) recommends as his favourite book

Today we spoke with Daragh Fleming - Writer and award-winning mental health activist Daragh Fleming is an author, freelance writer, and award-winning mental health blogger from Cork, Ireland. He has an MA in Linguistics, a BA in Applied Psychology, and a head full of notions as he says. Daragh has a passion for normalising the chat around mental health, and is the founder of Thoughts Too Big, a blog and enterprise that focuses on overcoming daily mental health issues. Daragh's debut in non-fiction, Lonely Boy, a collection of essays on mental health arrives on November 24th 2022. Please support this work by buying a copy! Daragh shared with us his traumatic personal story about why mental health is what he writes and speaks about - also, why that period paved the way for him to study the mind in university. He explained his current 'writer in residence' role in Spain, and what his writing process looks like. We unpacked where he finds inspiration for poetry, fiction and nonfiction, what trains had to do with writing, some of his most popular blogs on mental health - and his charitable support for Pieta House, Crisis Helpline, etc. He explained the meaning behind his motto 'be sound and drink water', and how to recognise if someone is struggling with their mental health. This was a powerful episode for us...thanks Daragh! Highlights:

Today we spoke with Damian Browne - Extreme Adventurer of Project Empower and the First Person in History to Row from New York to Ireland Damian Browne has just rowed 5000 km across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Galway, after 112 days at sea.

Here he shared his story, the tools he leans into, and the exercises that help him navigate the most extraordinary physical and emotional journeys man has undertaken, such as this recent row. Damian spoke about visualisation, living his masterpiece...and his daily pursuit to challenge himself in all ways, physically and mentally. Project Empower. Wow.

Rebecca Rusch is an ultra endurance adventure athlete, 7 x World Champion, MTB & Gravel Hall of Famer, author, activist and Emmy Award Winner. Rebecca Rusch grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and got into cross country running. In her first job out of college the office had an indoor climbing wall in the building. Rebecca was hooked and ventured across the country to climb. This opened doors to the outdoor community who got her into adventure racing leading to 10 years of adventuring racing and multiple victories in some of the world's biggest races. After a tragedy seeing a friend die in a race and sponsorship drying up Rebecca set a different path into bike riding.Friends invited her to 24 hours of Moab Bike Race and Rebecca recorded the fastest time of any women. She started doing solo MTB races and winning due to her endurance athlete mindset. This launched the second half of her career as a cyclist. She won 24 Hour World's a few times which bridged the gap between her adventure racing and love of exploring with a new venue of cycling. Rebecca continues to do a lot of bikepacking expeditions and events including Iditarod Trail 350 in Alaska becoming the first female finisher.

Living the dream life with the dream job is no easy task. You might think Chris Burkard is a renowned documentary filmmaker, decorated adventure photographer, and published author. And you would not be wrong. But the 36-year-old man behind the camera is really an acrobat. That is, he’s a great balancer of responsibilities — an agile exploiter of opportunity and a seemingly effortless expert at the game of life. You can’t throw a pebble in the outdoor industry without hitting some of Burkard’s work. He’s traveled to all ends of the globe, from sand dunes to glaciers, from mountaintops to ocean swells. His work has appeared in National Geographic, The New Yorker, and countless outdoor brand videos, photo essays, and documentaries. But he’s also a loving father and husband. And in this episode of the GearJunkie podcast, Burkard acknowledges that his is a dream life, but also one that not many folks are truly cut out for. We discuss his work, his path to success, his challenges and, most importantly, his keys to making all of it come together in a great balance.

Gus Morton quit professional cycling at the age of 21 to pursue a career as a filmmaker. He was briefly pulled back into professional racing but left the sport for good in 2017, when he merged his two areas of expertise by creating the production company Thereabouts, which put an alternative lens on cycling that didn't revolve around competition or traditional,  straightforward narratives of accomplishment. Instead, the projects focus on "conveying the feeling rather than recounting the experience" of cycling adventures.In January of 2021, Gus joined endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch and photographer Chris Burkard on the first winter crossing of Iceland by bike. They set out to make a film about the experience, but the project became much more than a portrait of athletic endurance when Gus found himself trapped in Mexico for two weeks following the expedition, confronting a very different kind of struggle. In this conversation, he tells Payson about how his battle with alcoholism came to a head during that two-week stay in Mexico City, and why he decided to re-frame the film around his relapse and recovery. They talk about how he wrestled with alcohol as a professional cyclist, the moment he revealed to Chris and Rebecca that he'd relapsed after their trip, and the process of turning his experiences with addiction into a creative project. The film, 'I Am Here,' is in production. A Kickstarter campaign was launched earlier this month to fund the remaining work.

Amid all the noise surrounding Web3, something fascinating is emerging: a new kind of immersive adventure storytelling. An innovative effort is underway to leverage the same technologies that get gamers excited about buying an outfit for their avatar to instead reward people for engaging in real-world outdoor experiences. The shift is going to have an enormous impact on how writers, photographers, and filmmakers tell their stories—and equally as important, how they connect with you, their audience. In this episode, Outside Interactive CEO Robin Thurston and adventure photographer Chris Burkard share their hopes for the coming transformation.

For Chris Burkard, photography has always been more than just taking spectacular pictures. He's used his craft as a way to tell stories, inspire people to adventure outside, and most of all, to push himself to the edge of his comfort zone. He's caught freezing cold-water waves with professional surfer Pete Devries. He's biked with champion mountain biker Rebecca Rusch. He's hung off cliffs in Moab, surfed in Iceland, and skied near the Arctic circle. After spending much of his career documenting other people's lives and adventures, Chris recently decided to turn the camera on himself and share stories from his own travels in his memoir called Wayward.Other episodes to listen to:Chris Burkard 2017 episodeConnect with Chris Burkard:WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagramResources:The book that Chris mentioned, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown

"The trail is my teacher. My path is clear when I am out there" - Rebecca Rusch When I saw Rebecca Rusch's Emmy-winning film, Blood Road, -about her trip to be the first person to ride the entire 1,200-mile length of the Ho Chi Minh Trail - I instantly felt connected to her, because of my time spend living in Vietnam and Laos, and because of the full spectrum of emotions she goes through on this trip, which is a quest to find the place her father's plane was shot down in the Vietnam war. This interview will go deep in to that journey and many of the other experiences that have made Rebecca an adventure and cycling hall of famer. Rebecca Rusch is the “Queen of Pain” with a heart of gold. Whether she is on a cycling expedition in a remote part of the world or teaching others at her namesake gravel bike academy in Idaho, she inspires people to be their best with energy, positivity and passion.  A 7x-world champion and celebrity in the ultra adventure/endurance realm for nearly 3 decades, elected to the prestigious international Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame, her status as a fierce competitor and inclusive influencer motivates millions. Recognized by Outside Magazine among the Top 40 Women Who've Made the Biggest Impact, and by Men's Journal with the 25 Most Adventurous Women, she's a maverick characterized by her grit, determination, and perseverance.  Known for seeking the toughest challenges imaginable, pushing herself into unknown territory has yielded Rebecca a first female ascent on Yosemite's 3000-ft. El Capitan Bermuda Dunes route, a first descent river boarding 300 miles of the entire Grand Canyon in 18 winter days. On two wheels, she is the only female competitor to win the iconic Leadville 100 four times and has won the renowned Unbound gravel grinder in 6 of 7 attempts (including the notoriously demanding 350-mile XL). She is a two time, first female finisher at the Iditarod Trail Invitational, pedaling 350 self-supported miles through the Alaskan wilderness.  Most recently she completed a previously unattempted North to South route traversing Iceland in winter by fatback alongside Chris Burkard and Angus Morton.   Even with all of these accolades under her belt, her inimitable brand and redoubtable resumé continue to expand. Combining ongoing athletic pursuits with entrepreneurial endeavors as CEO of Rusch Ventures, she oversees an impactful network of events, products, and experiences designed to elevate possibilities for people and their bikes.   Whether through print like in her best-selling autobiography Rusch to Glory, or on the trail, via her popular digital platforms or even as a highly requested keynote speaker, Rebecca inspires and emboldens countless fans. Her marquee event, Rebecca's Private Idaho, is ranked a top 5 gravel event by Global Cycling Network, and one of the top 25 rides in the world by Outside magazine. Her Rusch Academy full-spectrum cycling retreats boost skills, confidence and performance and her MTB Lao adventure travel excursions expresses Rebecca's desire to use the bike as a catalyst for healing, empowerment and evolution. Above all else she is the proud founder of the Be Good Foundation. Established in memory of her father, Rebecca's Be Good Foundation focuses on UXO mitigation in Lao,protecting public lands for recreation, and partnering with bike-centric nonprofits to fund meaningful change. To date, her efforts have raised over a half-million dollars in support of select nonprofits. What you'll learn in this episode: How Rebecca planned and achieved the world first mountain bike of the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam and LaosThe inner workings of expedition cycling and filmmakingSpecial consideration for winter bike expeditionsThe spiritual aspects of adventure Quotes "The trail is my teacher. My path is clear when I am out there" "A physical challenge is practice for life, it teaches you how to adapt and move forward" "As humans,

To make a living traveling the world, you have to get down to the essentials. Photographer and global explorer Chris Burkard joins No Blackout Dates to discuss how, exactly, he manages to do that. Chris shares insight on everything from what makes a good story to how he packs for expeditions. One constant theme through all of this? Risk management. Through his commercial and travel-based work, including an admittedly large collection of “really bad” photos, Chris has honed in on what it takes to plan and execute extremely dangerous assignments. By taking balanced risks and remaining focused on getting the right shots, he's progressed his work into one of the world's most celebrated portfolios of adventure photography. He's compiled some of the best of that portfolio into his new book, “Wayward.”In addition to his surf and expedition shooting, Chris has also built a reputation as “that guy that goes to Iceland a lot.” He's made more than 50 trips there, including a recent winter biking excursion across the entire country from north the south. He's chronicled his work in, among other ways, a photographic essay book, “At Glacier's End,” and a short film he produced called “Innur,” which documents the relationship between a father, his son, and Iceland's toe-chilling surfing culture. He discusses the motivation behind all of this work in today's episode.In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben discuss the seesaw relationship between giving and receiving rides to the airport. This leads to a talk on whether or not airport parking is bullsh*t. The pair close with their thoughts on whether or not you're actually supposed to turn your laptop off during takeoff and landing – and still don't have a definitive answer.Relevant links: Chris Burkard Photography “Wayward: Stories and Photographs” by Chris Burkard “At Glacier's End” by Chris Burkard Chris Burkard Shares Rare Images of Iceland's Glacial Rivers in a Stunning New Book Photographer Chris Burkard on how to become an adventure photographer Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown News of the day: Everything you need to know about tipping hotels Unpopular Opinion: Hotel Minibars Are a Scam and You Should Never Use Them

In this episode, Chris Burkard reflects on his career and the wayward journey he's been on. I have had the great privilege of knowing Chris for darn near a decade now. As an accomplished photographer, explorer, author, creative director, and speaker, he has travelled to some of the most remote places on earth capturing stories and images that connect us to nature and the importance of protecting it. After nearly 20 years as a creator and storyteller, he feels like he's finally hitting his stride. That might sound odd considering his work has been seen by millions, but the truth is there's rarely a straight line to our career growth. In this episode we explore: Figuring yourself out on your career path Going beyond what you're comfortable with and getting comfortable being uncomfortable * The importance of doing something meaningful and purposeful Why you should pursue a career that excites you Why being a specialist is incredibly valuable Projects have a lifespan. Sometimes the hardest part is learning when to let go and when to pass it on to someone else, because that's how it might come to life. There's something to be said for thrusting yourself into situations where there are no guarantees, but where the mystery of the experience is still there. The importance of developing a healthy relationship with risk It's a good one. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Adventure photographer and filmmaker Chris Burkard returns to the podcast to talk about his new book "Wayward" and what went into creating a visually stunning memoir that tells the story of a life well lived and the creation of a career path that was all his own.  During our conversation we talk about what he's been up to since the last time we spoke, how he approached compiling the story of his life and career into a book, how we both appreciate the slow trajectory of "success" that we have had in our creative careers, and other words of wisdom from a photographer that needs no introduction to the Visual Revolutionary audience.   To Buy Chris's new book "Wayward" Visit: https://chrisburkardshop.com/collections/books/products/wayward To Learn More About Chris Burkard Visit: https://www.chrisburkard.com And Follow Him On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburkard/ To Learn More About Visual Revolutionary Visit: https://www.visualrevolutionary.com And Follow On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/
