On this episode, we're hangin' with a local Encinitas dude (Shane Fellows) who's all about hiking, camping, and getting out into nature. We chat trails, gear, and his time living in Boulder—but the real highlight? His wild story from a few years back where a simple hike turned into a full-on survival mission. Think altitude sickness, a bear sighting, and a couple of mountain lions. Yep… it got sketchy.
A full-scale brand refresh is an important landmark in any brewery's journey. Even more so when it helps mark the company's 10th anniversary and the start of an exciting and powerful new chapter following a testing time for both the business and the wider brewing industry.And this month Mondo Brewing Company, the independent London-based brewery, has marked its 10 years in beer with an impressive brand revamp.Ahead of the brewery's official birthday this July, Mondo have employed a bold new look for their five-strong core range that includes flagship Dennis Hopp'r IPA and beers such as Road Soda, Texas Whistle, Little Victories and Hiker - a beer formerly known as Machina, a previous winner of our Brewers Choice 'Beer of the Year' accolade in 2021.This new branding can be seen across 330ml cans, bottles, and 30L kegs and in the brewery's own words, it's more than a new look—it's a celebration of 10 years of beer, creativity, and community.Mondo's new look also helps mark a new chapter for the business. Last year Hogs Back Brewery owner Rupert Thompson came on board at the business, becoming chairman and helping secure its future.In this episode, we speak to Mondo's managing director Todd Matteson about the work and decision making that has gone into the brewery's striking revamp. We discuss their plans to grow the brewery's on- and off-trade presence, how Mondo and its team have come out stronger following a turbulent period for the brewery and why Todd is more excited than ever about the road ahead.
My guest today is Amy Wight Chapman, aka @hikelowandlocal and the author of a beautiful family memoir, Just Like Glass. Amy inspires me for so many reasons - the biggest, hugest reason being that she honors herself. She is creative, and knows she enjoys moving her body, so she keeps those two flames flickering at all times, even when she's challenged by all the same things the rest of us are: family, injury, work, all the obligations that suck up our time and energy whether we want them to or not…Amy's book Just Like Glass: A Family Memoir is a one or two sitting affair, because you get sucked in from the start. Having grown up in a stoic New England family myself, Ruth's approach to what was probably the biggest tragedy of her life reminded me so much of women I knew in my childhood. I laughed, I cried, I told everyone I know who's in a book group about this book, because this family really got to me. And I'm going to leave it at that, so you head to your favorite book store and request this title, if it's not already carried, or head to amywchapman.com and hit the Buy Now button to order it directly from the Bethel Historical Society like I did.Be sure to stick around until the end to be completely and utterly impressed by Amy's movement streak. I'm telling you, this is the episode you need to be reminded to honor yourself in all the smallest ways, it makes such a huge difference!Get to know Amy and the places she loves!:@hikelowandlocalOrder Just Like Glass: A Family Memoir from the Bethel Historical Museum!AmyWChapman.com SubstackMuseums of the Bethel Historical Society (Bethel, ME)Buck's Ledge Community Forest (Woodstock, ME)Moody Mountain (Woodstock, ME)Community Concepts (ME)Maggie's Nature Park (Greenwood, ME)Lapham Loop (ME)True North AdventurewareSend us a text

Bruce and Lady La explain how they viewed the story of an Arizona hiker who went missing in Scottsdale.
Send us a textNote: Audio Only, please see YouTube for Video VersionThe weathered footings of a washed-away bridge stand as silent sentinels on either side of the Tularosa River in New Mexico's Gila National Forest. Most hikers would turn back at this obstacle, but those who wade across discover something extraordinary—centuries-old petroglyphs etched into stone walls whisper stories from a distant past.My journey along the Walking the Past Trail began with an easy-to-miss trailhead northeast of Reserve, NM. The three-mile round-trip hike presents two remarkable historical treasures. First, an authentic forest ranger cabin built in 1905 for just $50 stands as the last remnant of the original Tularosa Ranger Station. Walking through its modest doorway, I couldn't help but marvel at the lives of those early rangers who earned only $60 monthly while supplying their horses and equipment. These pioneers of conservation built trails, fought fires, and established the foundations of modern forest management.Beyond the cabin lies the prize that draws most visitors—extensive petroglyph panels that require a river crossing to access. These aren't simple graffiti but complex symbols pecked into stone using primitive tools. Birds, anthropomorphic figures, animals, and geometric patterns cover the rock faces in a protected alcove. Unlike some more accessible sites, these remain remarkably free from modern vandalism, creating an intimate connection with those ancient artists who left their mark here centuries ago.The petroglyphs raise fascinating questions: Were they purely artistic expression or practical communication? Did they record essential events, spiritual beliefs, or daily observations? While interpretive panels offer some insights, much remains mysterious, inviting visitors to form their connections with these enduring messages from the past.Have you explored the hidden historical treasures of the Southwest?

Welcome back to the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, This week I'm joined by Triple Crown Hiker Carey Kish. A tireless hiker, outdoor and travel writer, Registered Maine Guide, and self-proclaimed certified fun-meister.

Sign up for my Newsletter HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com What Happened: I'll be honest—before I ever hiked a long trail, I thought “grizzly country” was just a phrase thrown around to add spice to trail stories. Dramatic? Sure. But let me tell you, when you're deep in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, carrying bear spray for the first time, sleeping in wild country with bear scat nearby, you start to feel what it means to not be top of the food chain. And no, I didn't see a grizzly. But they saw me. I know they saw me. But even wilder than the bears was the realization that after three long trails—Appalachian Trail, PCT, and CDT—I'd done it. Triple Crown, baby. I didn't even set out to do it. It just happened. One trail became two, and then I thought, “What the hell, might as well do the third.” It was grueling, wild, hilarious (beer man, reporting for duty), and full of more characters than a Quentin Tarantino film. But that finish at the Canadian border? That was everything. Principle: Here's the truth: You don't need to have the perfect plan. You don't need to start with all the gear dialed. You sure as heck don't need to wait for the right time. The only thing that really matters? That you go. Just start. One step. Then another. Adventures don't require perfection. They just need momentum. Transition: The problem is, most people let logistics, fear, or lack of a clear roadmap stop them from ever taking the first step. They think they need a six-month sabbatical, the latest gear, or some magical trail wisdom passed down by a bearded sage. They don't. What they really need is someone who's been there—who's faced the bears (literal and metaphorical), hit the wall, and kept going. That's why… That's why I brought Carrie Kish on the podcast. Because she's been through the highs and the lows—blisters, burnout, bourbon nights in the tent—and came out the other side with stories that prove you can do this. She's not just a hiker; she's a storyteller, a guide, and someone who's figured out how to keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter what. Call to Action: If you've been dreaming of a big trail adventure but keep getting stuck in the planning—or worse, in the fear—this episode is your wake-up call. Stop waiting for perfect. Listen in now and discover how Carrie turned wild hikes and cold beers into a life well-lived (and how you can too).

A man who was seriously injured after falling six metres on a hike in February has been reunited with the rescue crews who saved his life. Stoj Jovevski was on a walk with friends in Victoria's Cathedral Range State Park when he slipped and fell six metres.
Five people. Five remote regions. Five encounters that leave more questions than answers. In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the raw, first-person accounts of individuals who came face-to-face with something impossible—and survived to tell the story.From a veteran park ranger in Olympic National Park who locked eyes with a towering, silent figure by a remote creek, to a hiker in northern Minnesota who stumbled across an eerie structure and felt something watching from just beyond the trees… these aren't blurry photos or secondhand stories. These are firsthand moments where fear met something real in the woods.We'll take you through the Blue Ridge Mountains with a seasoned deputy who followed the trail of a missing hunter and found only silence—and massive, barefoot tracks. Then we head into the dense, oppressive swamps of the Florida Everglades, where a wildlife officer encounters stacked stones, peeled trees, and heavy footfalls around his tent.But the episode ends with a story that still gives us chills.An experienced solo hiker heads into the Cascade Mountains for what should've been a quiet weekend off the grid. By the third day, the forest falls silent. Claw marks too high for any known animal, giant human-like prints, and a primitive shelter lead to a direct encounter with an eight-foot-tall creature communicating through knocks and strange calls.What follows is a relentless, three-day pursuit—an intelligent, calculated display by multiple creatures working together in the deep woods. And though they had every opportunity to take him, they didn't. Instead, they left a message: his lost gear, neatly displayed where he couldn't miss it. A warning. Or maybe… a test.This episode isn't about belief. It's about the people who went into the woods and came back changed.

Send us a textI chat to Simone from New South Wales. Her first experience was atop a mountain early one morning. Simone and her husband's primal neuroception immediately picked up 'something was not right' and when they saw his eyes, they knew he wasn't human....it was as if he was using that body form to 'see' into this world. And he indicated he had been watching them.Simone also shares her experience of living in a house with what she describes as an elemental of some kind. The house would shake at will. The presence finally made it's appearance in flashing red lights and heavy footsteps approaching Simone's room, when she was alone in the house one night.She also shares her beautiful communion with a river and the vision of a tall white being and lastly, a very nerve-wracking childhood visitation of a large being with long grey curly hair - was it a banshee?UPCOMING EVENTSThis July, Modern Fairy Sightings teams up with House of Zophiel to bring you a weekend immersed in the world of faeries.I'll be part of a residential weekend workshop along with Diane Narraway and

The NFL is starting to move on from their old ways, and will be phasing out the chain gang. Travis Kelce told Pat McAfee that he's not going to retire this offseason. Hiker lost in China's frigid mountains for 10 days survives by eating toothpaste. But did they?
