My review of Kaag's book about Nietzsche, the Swiss Alps, and the many other philosophers who have spent time in Sils Maria. Overall a good experience, but more of a beginner read. John Kaag provides a relatively faithful analysis of Nietzsche's philosophy in his book, which will not contain many new insights for the advanced Nietzsche reader. There are some interesting parallels he provides between thinkers, however, and some more obscure anecdotes from Nietzsche's life discussed. The work is primarily valuable as a character study of John Kaag himself, as a man who wishes to live dangerously, while married to a Kantian modern world.

Hiking wasn't always the fashionable pastime it is today....walking used to considered an activity for the impoverished or the vagrant. Until the Romantic era of the Victorian years inspired the likes of Walden and Thoreau to reconnect with nature and that, in turn, inspired the landscape architects to design parks with excellent walking trails. Today there's more than 60,000 miles of trails across the nation. Not to mention, hiking is great exercise allowing you to burn over 550 calories per hour. Plus, being in the outdoors allows you to get away from your phone and appreciate nature's beauty and wonder. So become a sojourner...you could even join a hiking club!

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Casey Huffman, known on trail as Vegas. Vegas has been mentioned a couple of times on this podcast in the past, as "the guy whose chest we signed" in 2023, and more recently, "the guy whose ass we signed". As we learn in today's episode, "signed ass guy" is also a real good hang.  We chat about how Vegas' mental health struggles ultimately lead him to the trail, how the hiking community and culture gave him the space to reinvent himself, and he shares quite possibly the most entertaining trail name origin story we've ever heard- we'll just say that this one is for adults only.  We wrap the show with discussing the merits of a sleeping bag liner, Chaunce is pissed about the cost of fountain soda, we do the triple crown of donuts, and Rachel once again lands a perfectly apropos listener mail bag.

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com   Welcome to Episode 213 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week, good friend of the show and author Ken Bosse joins us. Ken recently published his 4th book - "They Said It's Dangerous" - a light hearted look at some of the dangers hikers can be faced with.

Send us a textHey friends — this week, I'm talking about something close to my heart: positivity — not the fake-it-till-you-make-it kind, but the quiet confidence that goodness still exists, even when life feels heavy and out of balance. I'll share stories from my week — like seeing my daughter and her foster kittens (Solstice and Equinox) and how a walk around Silver Lake reminded me that we can stay grounded. I'll also tell you the story of The Seashells of Positivity. We'll look at the science behind positivity, including research by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, and Ed Diener (2005) showing that people who experience frequent positive emotions live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I also link to one of my favorite resources — the Calm Master Class on Happiness by Shawn Achor, which explores the science of choosing happiness intentionally. You can find it here.Quote of the Week:“Every time we choose light, we make it easier for someone else to see.” — Unknown Disclaimer:This podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

In this episode, I chat with Patricia Doe from The Wilderness Group about the beauty of soft adventure travel — those immersive, outdoor experiences that blend nature, culture, and connection in the most meaningful way.Patricia shares her story (including what it was like growing up in a castle-turned-hotel!) and how The Wilderness Group designs soft adventure experiences across the British Isles — from the rugged Highlands of Scotland to the serene landscapes of Ireland, England, and Wales. I also share that I'm collaborating with The Wilderness Group (and why) to create the upcoming 2026 Wander Your Way Adventures to Scotland. And that I'll  be working with them again on future small group tours launching in 2027. Patricia and I dive into how soft adventure in Europe opens doors to local culture through gentle hikes, village walks, and authentic encounters that reveal the heart of a place. We also highlight hidden gems, underrated destinations, and easy ways to get outdoors that make travel both enriching and approachable.Hint: You don't have to be an über fit under 30!If you've ever wanted to experience Europe beyond the main tourist trail and embrace the outdoors, this episode is packed with inspiration and ideas for your next journey.Want to chat more about soft adventure travel?Email lynne at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:1:03: Intro and Introducing Patricia Doe4:27: Patricia's background7:01: The Wilderness Group10:54: Special place for Patricia14:06: Patricia's picks19:05: Trip expectations28:10: Cities vs Nature35:30: More of Patricia's favorite places39:13: Fitness level49:00: Final thoughts54:58: Soft adventures and Wander Your Way1:02:47: Wrapping it upImportant links:Wilderness ScotlandWilderness IrelandWilderness EnglandWander Your Way AdventuresSolo Traveler Tracey's ListWhy Europe Is an Amazing Destination for Nature LoversOutdoors Europe with Jackie NourseWander Your Way ResourcesWander Your Way ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textWhat if the comfort you chase is the thing holding you back from real resilience? We sit down with Jay Carson—veteran of U.S. politics, creator behind House of Cards and The Morning Show, and now executive director of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School—to unpack how a minimalist 14-day course can reset your inner compass. From a pandemic power outage that felt apocalyptic to making friction fires and sleeping without a bag, Jay shares the skills and mindset that turned fear into capability.We explore the philosophy behind Boss: keep the gear list short, keep the learning deep, and move often enough that comfort can't calcify. Jay explains why “compare down” cuts anxiety, how survival priorities put shelter and fire ahead of food, and why discomfort isn't danger. If you've wondered whether you're fit enough, his answer might surprise you. Baseline fitness helps, but head and heart make the difference—especially on specialised tracks like the Hunter-Gatherer course where, if you don't find it, you don't eat it.There's history and scope here too. Boss has operated since 1968 across nearly a million permitted acres in southern Utah, taking students from desert scrub to high forest in a single day's walk. Jay connects those landscapes to his own, tracing a line from 9/11 and an anthrax exposure to a deeper need for nature's grounding. He also previews his forthcoming book built on survival priorities—part backcountry guide, part life manual—aimed at anyone ready to rethink comfort, risk, and what truly matters.If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share the show with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review.

Steve and I share our learnings (and laughs) from Scenic Sundays - a day once a month we set aside with no agenda, no plan, and no rush. Just faith, flow, and following what feels good.Scenic Sundays have brought us some of the greatest memories and moments in our relationship. They're the kind of days that remind you what presence actually feels like: deep chats in the car, spontaneous detours, belly laughs, and finding new places we never would've discovered if we'd stuck to a plan.We talk about:How Scenic Sundays began and what it's taught usLetting go of rigidity and trusting intuition to lead the wayThe balance between structure and spontaneityHow creating space for flow opens up new ideas and opportunitiesThis three year ritual we've committed to leans into our motto, 'adventure awaits'. It's probably one of my most favourite things in our relationship.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowSunday Meds - check it outWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Cassandra Overby, writer, traveler, and author of Home Base Hiking Europe. Cassandra challenges the traditional “see everything” approach to travel and introduces a more meaningful, grounded model: choosing a single village or valley as your base and exploring through daily hikes. Cassandra shares how her philosophy of slow travel grew out of a “travel breakup” in her twenties and evolved into a new way of moving through Europe — one that prioritizes connection, culture, and authentic local life. She explains why small villages offer richer experiences than tourist hotspots and how travelers can blend hiking, culture, food, and community simply by slowing down. From the Dolomites to the Somme, the Piedmont to Provence, Cassandra walks through some of her favorite home-base regions across Europe — and the unique stories, landscapes, and local interactions that make them come alive. This episode is full of practical insights and deep reflections on how to travel better, notice more, and build real connections along the way.

Send us a textCrossing into Washington state when you're on the northbound Pacific Crest Trail, or NOBO, is a milestone–a damn smile-stone. Crossing the Bridge of the Gods with no proper pedestrian path is akin to Frogger. But once across, you might have the urge to fling your arms up to the sky and shout a victory hoot. After replenishing your supplies in town you hit the trail again, and that's when Washington hits, and hits hard. The conditions and terrain change fast. Just when you're ready to call it quits, the next peak comes into view, coaxing you north. Alone in your tent? You wonder if you'll survive the cold that night, kicking yourself for not setting out a month earlier. You fall asleep imagining your trail family is camped out in tents beside yours. But some of them pulled the pin on the trail days earlier. And you're left missing them like a phantom limb.Let's get into it.Washington's nickname is the Evergreen State. Doesn't that sound inviting? Cozy even? Sweet, like a week at summer camp? Well, Washington is no laughing matter.Washington has serious weather, active volcanoes, not to mention creepy lore about UFOs, Bigfoot, globs raining down on towns, teen vampires and werewolves and the all-too-real-serial killers. This is where all that subreddit-binging catches up with you. What seemed entertaining in the safety of your bedroom, funny even, alone on the trail, far removed from population center, those stories flood your imagination. Add a little fog, the cries of an owl, not spotting another hiker for a few miles, and the trail can feel brutal and endless.  Show Sources and MaterialsI just hiked 90 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail on McDoubles, GorillaTaco, YouTubePacific Crest Trail Horror Stories 2024, HalfwayAnywhere.comDiscovering the Spooky Side of Washington: Haunted Hikes in the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Adventure ClubA 'haunted hike' brings a Washington disaster to life, Courtney Flatt, Northwest Public BroadcastingI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

Send us a textThis week we are talking about our life lines. I ask you to consider — who's your lifeline?Not the metaphorical one, but the real, human connection that keeps you afloat when life gets heavy.We'll dig into the interesting history of the word “lifeline,” what research says about how connection affects our health and habits, and how you can create your own H-Factor system of support.It's practical and deeply human —you'll leave reminded that you were never meant to do this alone. Quote of the week“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, explores what happens when the job that once gave you purpose, structure, belonging, and identity (Amazon Affiliate) is suddenly gone. Whether retirement was planned, forced, medical, or accelerated by burnout — the emotional fallout can feel like a quiet identity collapse. Many officers describe the transition not as relief, but as loss. Loss of routine. Loss of brotherhood. Loss of purpose. Loss of who they believed they were. This episode helps make sense of that experience — and offers a path to rebuild identity that isn't dependent on the uniform.

Lisa Laidlow came to the trail when she became an empty-nester. She had always been an outdoor girl–often along with her father–yet it was only fairly recently that she returned to hiking and discovered the idea of a thru-hike. As a black woman on the trail, she was embraced by hikers, though had a few uncomfortable encounters along the way. Despite these rare occasions, Lisa is a strong advocate of getting people of whatever color into the woods and on trails. You can follow Lisa on various social media platforms; on Facebook at Breathe:AdventuresoftheSoul | Baltimore MD , on Instagram at Lisa Laidlow (@breathe_adventuresofthesoul) , and on her YouTube channel at Breathe:Adventures of The Soul(HighViz) . Also this week, Bobby Campbell, or Sloggy, shared his knowledge of the International Appalachian Trail (IAT). Bobby has done the Maine section of this vast, transcontinental trail and share his experience both here and on his YouTube channel at Hiking the Maine section of the International Appalachian Trail . I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %.

From encounters with mountain lions to moments of prayer and ceremony in nature, I open up about how this year has become a symbolic journey of release, renewal, and awakening. We explore what it truly means to let go of outdated beliefs, relationships, and versions of ourselves that no longer align with our soul's truth. If you've been feeling big shifts or the call to clean out the corners of your life, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone in your shedding process.I also talk about the power of honest communication, the courage to express what you truly desire, and the importance of slowing down to be fully present, especially as we move into the holiday season. Transformation doesn't always feel comfortable, but it always leads us closer to our most authentic selves. Tune in to reconnect with your intuition, trust the timing of your life, and honor the season of shedding you are in, knowing that what awaits on the other side is a deeper sense of freedom, clarity, and creation.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Welcome to The Danette May Show and today's mountain hike(0:21) Hiking adventures, nature's wisdom, and wild animal encounters(1:47) A powerful mountain lion story and lessons from the wilderness(5:13) Embracing change, shedding old layers, and trusting transformation(10:52) Releasing scarcity and opening your mind to abundance(12:59) The power of honest communication and speaking your truth(15:20) The healing gift of friendship and how to attract your soul tribe(19:49) Reflecting on the holidays, slowing down, and being fully present(23:20) Final thoughts, gratitude, and an invitation to share your journey
