In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic…today's episode is pure chaos. If you've listened to any of our Hiking Viking episodes, you already know what I'm talking about. After four "Girl Stuff" episodes, Chaunce figured it was only fair to balance the scales with what we're officially calling the Guy Stuff episode, a panel-style conversation that goes off the rails almost immediately, featuring Jabba and Lt Cookoo Bird. We cover everything from trail grooming strategy (aka pube management), to whether you'd rather have boobs or a vagina for 24 hours, to making Backpacker Radio condoms as trail swag, Chaunce has a beard, and Jabba bites Chaunce's toes. If you're looking for polished thru-hiking advice… this ain't it. This is a circus. Enjoy the ride. Topo Athletic: Use code "TREKWINTER15" at topoathletic.com.

Send us a textThis week we're heading into week three of the challenge, and I want to talk about something subtle that can quietly make everything feel harder—your energy, your focus, your patience, even your progress. I've been thinking a lot about how often we push through discomfort without ever stopping to ask why it's there. And how, as women who manage full lives and full calendars, we're incredibly skilled at overriding ourselves instead of listening.In today's shorty episode, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice what your body has been trying to tell you all along. This is about strength without force, awareness without judgment, and learning how to trust yourself again in a world that constantly asks you not to. If you've ever felt like something was “off” but couldn't quite put your finger on it, this conversation is for you.Quote of the Week:“The body is your instrument.

Using Your Momentum to Accomplish Great Things (part 2) Today I invite you into a deeper conversation about movement, momentum, and what I believe is a powerful energetic shift ahead of us: the Year of the Fire Horse. As an above-knee amputee, a lifelong horse girl, and someone who has learned to rebuild life step by step, this theme resonates with me on every level. The Fire Horse represents bold energy, passion, speed, and expansion—but only if we're willing to meet it with intention and preparation. Last week, I challenged you to focus on movement. Not perfection. Not comparison. Just movement—forward motion, wherever you are in your journey. Because movement creates momentum, and momentum opens the door to growth. That growth is what I call fearless expansion. And let me be very clear: fearless expansion doesn't mean the absence of fear. Fear is always present, especially as an amputee. Every literal step forward requires trust—trust in my prosthesis, trust in my body, and trust in myself. Early on, I couldn't even imagine carrying laundry with my vision blocked, let alone trusting my leg to land where it needed to. That confidence didn't come overnight. It came from doing the thing scared, over and over again, until fear loosened its grip. This ⇑ leads to this ⇓ And that’s why setting goals and staying focused on them matters. I want to remind you that this journey is never linear. Prosthetic life is full of pauses, setbacks, socket changes, surgeries, and seasons of limbo. There are times when pushing harder simply isn't possible—and that doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human. I've taken years off from pushing my pace, not because I was lazy, but because my body wasn't ready. And that's okay. We are not competing with anyone else—especially not the curated versions of people we see online. The only comparison that matters is who you were yesterday. This brings me to the next layer of the Fire Horse energy: boldness, speed, and passion. This is the kind of energy that's impossible to ignore. It can fuel incredible growth—or become overwhelming if we aren't grounded. That's why preparation matters. Before my amputation, I did something that changed everything: I set goals before surgery. Month by month. Not because I knew how things would turn out, but because I didn't want fear to be my focus. I wanted my eyes on the horizon. These virtual races kept me focused and helped me get stronger. These medals tell my story, one I am proud of. Those goals didn't start big. My first win was simply getting out of the house alone. That one decision led me to adaptive sports, sled hockey, skiing, virtual races, surfing, and eventually completing a 10K with a running blade. None of it happened by accident. Every step required intention, planning, and a willingness to try—even when I wasn't sure I'd succeed. Virtual races, in particular, saved me. They gave me accountability and something to work toward when motivation was low. I wouldn't even open the medals until I earned them. On good socket days, I pushed myself. On bad days, I rested. But I kept showing up. And every time I finished something I once thought was impossible, I felt alive again. Capable. Limitless. That's the power of momentum. It builds confidence. And confidence changes everything. As we approach the Year of the Fire Horse, I want you to pause and ask yourself: What do I truly want to accomplish in the next twelve months? Not what feels “realistic.” Not what others expect of you. What lives in your heart? What lights you up? This energy can either propel you forward or spiral into negativity if you're unprepared. The difference is mindset and planning. This week's call to action builds on last week's. Keep moving—but now, zoom out. Create a one-year vision. Look at your calendar. Are there trips coming up? Experiences you've avoided because of fear, injury, or amputation? Hiking, traveling, trying a new sport, or simply walking confidently in your neighborhood—none of these happen overnight. They require preparation, strength building, and patience. And that preparation starts now. I've never jumped blindly into anything. When I returned to skiing, I sought adaptive instruction. I practiced balance, core strength, and walking long before I hit the slopes. Every year, I have to rebuild again. That's life. The work never truly ends—but neither does the growth. Amputation is not the end of life. It's a beginning. A reinvention. And the truth is, anything goes. If you try something and it doesn't work, so what? You tried. You learn. You pivot. You try again. I never surfed before my amputation—and now it's something I love. You don't know what's waiting for you on the other side of fear. This year carries powerful energy. If you open yourself up to it with intention, incredible things can happen. Dream big. Make a plan. Start today—not Monday, not when it feels right. It will never feel perfect. But action creates clarity, and clarity creates momentum. The warrior within you is ready. This is the year to let them out. Use the fire. Harness the momentum. And gallop forward into the life you want—one brave step at a time. Have a beautifully, blessed week and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!! Much love,

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined yet again by our pal and Hall of Fame trail name holder Marla Davidson, better known as "Fancy Feast". Fancy Feast is a wealth of knowledge and unfortunate and embarrassing stories. She shares a nasty medical mishap involving poodle dog bush on the PCT, we look back at her time with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, where she and other "malnourished minors" subsisted on moldy bread and Sriracha, which was presented as a vegetable. Fancy Feast gives us an overview of her 2024 calendar hikes of the PCT and CDT, her experience navigating the Hayduke Trail with Horsepower (former guest) after he convinced her with a PowerPoint presentation, and the hilarious mismatch in hiking styles from this somewhat random pairing. She details what it's like being a PNTA crew lead, and the challenges associated in light of funding cuts and crews being reduced to a skeleton staff. Feast also shares standout stories from her international travels, including a "pig water" disaster in the Andes, her time at the Green Mountain Club with a persistent bear that turned her food box into a rolling pinata, and her hot takes on thru-hiker "main character energy" and entitlement. We wrap the show with whether we'd rather have three butt cheeks or just one, the triple crown of mild yet particular icks or phobias, and the news of how one Hayduke hiker got caught in quicksand.

When Jesus began His Church, He did not intend for us to live out our calling in isolation from our fellow believers. He prayed that we would, as the Church, be united as one body. The Apostle Paul also reminded the believers in Corinth that they as part of the body of Christ, indeed functioned like a human body, with many necessary and integral parts, fit together by God Himself for the edification of the saints and the glory of God. This week we continue our conversation with Pastor Chris Legg of South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas about how he creatively and practically integrates apologetics into his ministry and how each one of us is an apologist, whether we are professionally trained in the field of apologetics or not. Also, Daniel shares his recent terrifying experience in the Grand Canyon. You don't want to miss this episode!

Is Saint-Étienne France's Most Underrated City? PLUS: Tips for Learning French! If you love discovering hidden gems in France, this episode is for you! Annie Sargent chats with Brooke Koss Cunningham, a French professor and passionate Francophile, about Saint-Étienne—a city most travelers overlook but absolutely shouldn't. Once known for its coal mines and heavy industry, Saint-Étienne has transformed into a vibrant hub of design, innovation, and affordability. Brooke shares why this working-class city, nestled between the Livradois-Forez and Parc du Pilat, is one of France's best-kept secrets. Listen to this episode ad-free Saint-Étienne is cheap to visit, easy to explore, and packed with surprises. Brooke takes us to the Musée d'Art et d'Industrie, where you can see everything from historic bicycles to intricate ribbons—a hit with kids and adults alike. She raves about Weiss Chocolates, a local favorite where you can even take workshops, and the faisselle cheese, a fresh, creamy specialty you won't find outside of France. For outdoor lovers, the Gouffre d'Enfer offers thrilling zip-lining, while Saint-Victor-sur-Loire delivers stunning views of the Loire River without the tourist crowds. But Saint-Étienne isn't just about sights—it's about experiencing real French life. Brooke explains how the city's tram system makes getting around a breeze, and why its strong local accent and gaga patois add to its authentic charm. She also shares practical tips for learning French, from immersing yourself in conversations to using resources like Radio France and the Alliance Française's Culturethèque. Whether you're a solo traveler, a family, or someone dreaming of moving to France, this city offers a welcoming, unpretentious vibe that's hard to find in bigger tourist hotspots. After the chat, Annie dives into an exciting update: JR's 2026 art installation on Paris's Pont Neuf, turning the bridge into a 120-meter "cave" made of fabric. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Paris next summer!

Matt Lyons: Balancing Hiking & Humor

Without Compromise

In this episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with outdoor comedian and creator Matt Lyons to talk about the unlikely intersection of thru-hiking, internet fame, and making people laugh at themselves. Matt shares his journey from middle-school science teacher to full-time creator, how long days on the trail shaped his comedy, and why humor has become such a powerful way to connect with the outdoor community and beyond. Along the way, we dig into the origin of his “cringe comedy” style and why poking fun at gear culture and stereotypes can actually bring people closer together.We also get candid about the realities of life as a creator: burnout, algorithms, brand partnerships, and staying authentic while working with companies you genuinely believe in, like Athletic Brewing. Matt reflects on what it means to take the outdoors seriously without taking yourself too seriously, and how laughter can be an entry point for more people to feel like they belong outside. It's a thoughtful, funny conversation about identity, community, and finding your lane on the trail and online.

Professional drag artist and environmental activist Pattie Gonia has more than 2 million followers on Instagram and has raised $1.2 million for environmental nonprofits by hiking 100 miles, or 160 kilometers, in full drag into San Francisco. She has gained international recognition for using drag artistry to advocate for the environment, in acknowledgment and celebration of hundreds of researchers and scientists in the field who identify as queer. She joins Mongabay's podcast to explain why joy is a fundamental ingredient missing in the environmental advocacy space, how she prioritizes it in her work as a drag performer and activist, and why she feels the environmental movement must prioritize it to succeed.

Becky Wandell is a Teacher, Writer, Tour Guide, Volunteer, and Solo Traveler. At 47, while weathering a difficult divorce and the death of four close relatives, she clawed her way up from the depths of grief and, in her words, set out to "find her way back to Becky again". To do this, she quit her job, sold all of her belongings and charted a plan to complete a series of adventures she had always dreamed of doing. Joining the US Peace Corps, learning to speak Spanish and gaining her confidence in solo travel and living abroad set the stage for several years of living her best life throughout South America; a life rich with opportunities to learn, grow, serve others through volunteering, integrate deeply into cultures, and make connections - especially with women. Then, in 2024 at the age of 55, she hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. It was there, with thousands of footsteps across the desert, over the mountains and back home to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, she was finally able to release the last of her regrets, coming away from the trek feeling lighter, freer, more confident and beautiful than ever before. Turns out, living life to the fullest and fulfilling all your dreams brings joy. Now, Becky works as a seasonal Tour Guide in Alaska which allows her to spend the rest of the year living out of her backpack, always ready for the next adventure. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

In this episode, I'm sharing my experience exploring the Peak District, England — a place I truly fell in love with. From dramatic limestone edges and sweeping views to rolling green hills dotted with sheep (soooo many sheep), quiet walking trails, and storybook villages, the Peak District completely won me over. In fact, I loved it so much that it's very likely making its way onto a future Wander Your Way Adventures itinerary.I talk about what makes the Peak District so special — how the landscapes shift from one area to the next and why it's such a rewarding destination for travelers who enjoy walking, nature, and a slower pace of exploration. I also touch on the region's incredible stately homes — including the iconic Chatsworth House — for those who want to pair beautiful scenery with history, architecture and a glimpse into England's past.If you're dreaming of visiting the Peak District, England, curious about why it left such an impression on me, or simply love hearing about places that feel both grounding and inspiring, this episode is for you.Want to chat more about the Peak District?Message me at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:1:10: Intro and thanks3:45: Placing the Peak District on the map4:40: Things to know about the Peak District11:00: Trails26:26: Chatsworth House & historic sites30:05: Bakewell & other towns34:26: Where to stay and eat37:31: Getting there & around39:12: More tips41:23: Final thoughts44:40: Wrapping it upImportant links:Peak District National ParkPeak District Chatsworth HouseBrosterfield FarmManor House FarmHilltop FarmWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your WayWander Your Way ResourcesListener Question FormPatagonia ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Eric Volk, who we attempt to trail name "5-16." In just six years, Eric went from novice hiker to expert off-trail adventurer, completing his own custom routes across the Sierra, Grand Canyon, North Cascades, and Alaska, including his Brooks Range Traverse and Arctic thru-hike. He is believed to be the first or second person to hike from the Canadian border to the Arctic Ocean entirely on foot. Today, we're getting an in-depth tutorial on all things off-trail and route-based hiking. Eric gives a detailed overview of how to get started with off-trail adventuring, the biggest differences between hiking on trail and off, recommended "beginner" routes, key gear considerations, the navigational skills required (including the specific tools he uses and recommends), the wide variety of terrain you might encounter, weather considerations, the importance of doing your due diligence, and much more. Eric also shares some fun stories from his routes, including trekking through the mathematically most remote place in the U.S., incredible wildlife encounters with caribou, grizzlies, musk ox, and mountain lions, and the ethics of publicizing GPX tracks.

Note: This is indeed an outdoor recreation-focused podcast, but hype around the NFL playoffs resulted in about nine minutes of football talk to start the show (whoops).

IMMERSIVE – Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan – Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) EPICIn this immersive, audio-only episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you with me as I hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) in Bhutan — one of the most iconic and spiritual hikes in the world.This episode starts early in the morning in Paro, with pre-hike nerves, breakfast, and my first distant glimpse of Tiger's Nest clinging to the mountainside. From there, we journey to the trailhead and begin the steady uphill climb through pine forests, open valleys, and sweeping mountain views.As I hike, I share real-time reactions, heavy breathing, and honest reflections as the monastery slowly reveals itself through the trees. About halfway up, I stop at the famous café for a much-needed coffee — and the first truly jaw-dropping view of Tiger's Nest sitting impossibly in the distance, tucked into the mountains.From there, the trail continues toward the most iconic viewpoints on the hike, where the scale of the monastery really sinks in. I take you to the famous photo spots before descending hundreds of steps, crossing bridges and waterfalls, and finally entering the temple itself.Inside Tiger's Nest, there are no cameras — only flickering butter lamps, chanting monks, incense in the air, and a deep sense of stillness. I reflect on what it felt like to experience the monastery without distractions, and why this hike is considered one of the most unforgettable experiences in Bhutan.The episode finishes with the walk back down to the parking lot, lunch in Paro, practical hiking tips, and reflections on why Tiger's Nest isn't just something you visit — it's something you feel.This episode is part of my Bhutan Series, recorded while travelling with Breathe Bhutan, a locally owned tour company creating immersive, meaningful journeys across Bhutan.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery, this episode is for you.

Hiking Headlines and a Blast from the Past

This week on The Bend Show: hiking headlines, we report on a deadly mountain lion attack and then how a drone delivered hope to a stranded hiker. Plus a blast from the past nostalgia. Retro fun—from “Rad” vs “6–7” to Red Rover and rotary phones—could Gen Z figure them out? Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Deadly Mountain Lion Attack Shocks Hiking Community Authorities have ended the search for mountain lions after a solo hiker was fatally attacked on a remote Colorado trail near Rocky Mountain National Park. The victim was identified as 46-year-old Kristen Marie Kovatch of Fort Collins. She was found dead on New Year's Day along the Crosier Mountain Trail, southeast of the small community of Glen Haven. Two hikers discovered her body around noon and reported seeing a mountain lion nearby, which they scared off by throwing rocks. One of the hikers, a physician, tried to help but could not find a pulse. An autopsy confirmed Kovatch died from asphyxia caused by compression to her neck. The Larimer County Coroner ruled her death an accident, saying her injuries were consistent with a mountain lion attack. It was Colorado's first fatal mountain lion attack since the late 1990s and only the fourth reported in North America over the past decade. Wildlife officers killed two mountain lions in the area later that day. Officials say one of the animals, a male, had human DNA on its paws. A third lion was reportedly seen, but after four days of searching with no further evidence, authorities called off the effort and reopened nearby trails. Kovatch's family described her as an ultramarathon runner who loved hiking and Colorado's public lands. Wildlife officials note there have been several mountain lion encounters in the region in recent months, including attacks on dogs and a runner who fought off a lion last fall. Colorado is home to an estimated 3,800 to 4,400 mountain lions, which are rarely aggressive toward humans but can pose a risk in isolated areas. Reference https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/search-ends-mountain-lions-after-hiker-fatally-attacked-128928116 Drone Delivers Lifeline to Stranded Hiker In a first-of-its-kind rescue, Phoenix firefighters used a delivery drone to help a stranded hiker on Camelback Mountain in Arizona last month. The hiker was spotted in the evening, just after 8 p.m., waving for help from the rocky Camel's Head area. With darkness setting in and the terrain too dangerous to navigate at night, rescuers knew they couldn't reach him until morning. Instead of leaving him without help, the Phoenix Fire Department launched a weight-bearing drone. The drone flew supplies directly to the mountaintop, delivering a cell phone, food, water, and a blanket to keep the hiker safe and comfortable overnight. Camelback Mountain sees dozens of rescues every year, often due to extreme heat and difficult trails. Until now, firefighters relied mostly on helicopters and ground crews. But drones—originally introduced in 2022 for wildfire monitoring—are changing how rescues are handled. The department's drones use thermal imaging and can carry up to six pounds. Each drone costs about $15,000, but firefighters say the technology is already proving its value. Crews were able to make multiple quick supply drops during the night—something that would have taken much longer on foot. Phoenix Fire officials say this mission highlights their commitment to using new technology to protect both firefighters and the public, and they plan to keep expanding how drones are used in future rescues.

We're kicking off a brand-new year with something many of you have asked for—the return of our live Q&A episodes. In this conversation, I'm joined once again by Uncle Joe as we answer real questions from men inside our community about parenting, connection with daughters, discipline, stoicism, faith, and leadership at home. This episode goes deep. We talk about building trust with kids who feel distant, why saying "no" too often damages connection, how fathers can lead without demanding reciprocity, and the difference between white-knuckling life versus living from identity. If you're a dad who wants deeper relationships with your kids and clarity around leadership, faith, and emotional presence, this episode will challenge and ground you. Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the 11th year of The Dad Edge Podcast. [1:37] Reflection on longevity, gratitude, and why this work still matters. [1:59] Announcement: Roommates to Soulmates eight-week course starting January 14. [2:19] What men will learn in the Roommates to Soulmates marriage training. [2:42] RSVP details for the January 7 preview call. [3:07] Welcoming Uncle Joe back to the show. [3:39] Listener question about connecting with daughters at different developmental stages. [5:14] Joe shares his experience raising three daughters. [6:33] Loving kids without expecting emotional reciprocation. [7:16] Why trust—not control—is the foundation of fatherhood. [8:08] Changing the default answer from "no" to "yes." [9:19] Joe shares the powerful "father promise ring" moment with his daughter. [10:41] Why fathers must make covenants to their kids—not demand them. [12:26] Larry shares his struggle connecting with his youngest son. [13:26] Letting kids lead connection through their interests. [14:12] Hiking, martial arts, and intentional one-on-one time. [15:19] Creating unique rituals with each child. [16:03] Capturing small moments for deep emotional connection. [18:12] Invitation to join the Dad Edge Alliance for live support and brotherhood. [19:51] Listener question about stoicism and discipline. [21:27] Larry explains why he moved away from stoicism. [22:29] Joe breaks down the appeal—and danger—of half-truths in stoicism. [24:07] White-knuckling life vs. living from identity. [25:00] Faith, identity, and emotional regulation. [27:28] Comparing stoicism with surrender and relationship-based leadership. [29:05] Psalm 23 and why dependence beats self-mastery. [31:30] Filtering wisdom through Scripture and lived experience. [34:41] How suffering builds empathy and leadership capacity. [35:19] Final thoughts, gratitude, and where to find resources. Five Key Takeaways Connection with kids is built through trust, consistency, and presence—not control. Fathers must lead relationships without demanding emotional repayment. White-knuckling discipline leads to exhaustion; identity-based leadership leads to peace. Kids feel deeply seen when dads meet them inside their interests. True strength comes from surrender, faith, and relational grounding—not self-reliance alone.

We're joined again by our guy, Michael Grizzly Ivey, to give you an overview of eight standout US thru-hikes that you can hike in four weeks or less. We cover the Long Trail, Teton Crest Trail, Superior HIking Trail, Timberline Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail, Foothills Trail, and Uinta Highline, give you the trail overviews, relative difficulty, resupply strategy, the best time to hike, which direction, travel logistics, permit requirements, resupply strategy, standout wildlife, water availability, and our overall 30-second elevator pitch for each trail. Much like my waistline, your bucket list is about to expand. We wrap the show with tips for getting primo service at any restaurant (from a restaurant general manager), the triple crown of birds, and we prove that we will read just about anything in a 5-star review.
