This week we talk to the father-daughter team of Marty Ohlhaut and Grace Ly. They have written a travel memoir called Tent for Seven: A Camping Adventure Gone South Out West. This book is based on the true story of their family camping trip to the Canadian Rockies which went horribly wrong in the 1990s. Marty, his wife Jolene, and their 5 children flew from Charlotte NC to the Pacific Northwest and then drove a van to several spots in the majestic Canadian mountains. They camped in their family tent, lovingly referred to as Big Blue. While there, so many things went awry but most importantly, Jolene was severely injured and had to be taken to a hospital where she spent many days. The Ohlhaut family was in disarray but Good Samaritans named the Walshes came to the rescue. This family is genetically predisposed to adventure. You will hear Marty talk about some wild things he has seen and done, and even though Grace doesn't doesn't mention it, she also is an adventure seeker. She dog sleds in Finland and rock climbs in Colorado. Carrie and I are so boring in comparison.

In 1995 travel writer Bill Bryson was living in the United States after residing in England for over twenty years and longed to reconnect with the country he once knew. Despite having little knowledge of hiking, camping, or the Great Outdoors he decided that an adventure on the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail would be the best way to reacquaint himself with America. Not to be outdone in the inexperience department, Bryson was joined by his friend Stephen Katz, an overweight, out of shape, mercurial college friend, who he hadn't spoken to in over a decade. A Walk in the Woods chronicles their difficult and humorous attempt of one of America's great thru-hikes.In this episode Christine and Kyle discuss some of Bryson's anecdotes from the trail, his conversational writing style as well as his questionable strategy for completing the trail. They also dive into the life of the real "Stephen Katz" and gab about some of their own experiences on the Appalachian Trail.

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 123 - 125Psalm 123: A Prayer for Mercy / the Psalm of the eyes. Starts, "Unto thee lift I up mine eyes." Take heed / 'cause he's a lyrical poet / Psalm's on the scene / just in case you didn't know it. (That's some souped-up Vanilla Ice lyrics because I guess sometimes Hebrew rhymes.)Psalm 124: Praise for Deliverance from Enemies. Starts, "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side." I scream, you scream, we all scream for VERSICLES! Gimme a V —Psalm 125: The LORD Is Round about His People. Starts, "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion." Book recommendation: A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, by Bill Bryson. It's funny, educational, enlightening, heart-warming, and ultimately way better than the Bible while still leaving readers with that same appreciation for mountains that this psalm purports to inspire.

Today on episode 55 I'm honored to welcome Darrow Kirkpatrick, former engineer, climber, investor, author, and the creator of the popular blog CanIRetireYet.com. Darrow began serious saving and investing in his mid-30s and retired at age 50 in 2011 from a career in software engineering.In this wide-ranging interview, we explore why Darrow stepped away from personal finance writing after creating a popular blog, his adventures on the Colorado Trail and the inspiration for a memoir, and the journey and struggle to finding meaning and purpose at any stage in life. Darrow Kirkpatrick: An IntroductionDarrow was eager to share the methods and values of frugality and simple personal finance in the early days of his retirement, leading to the creation of his blog. Over time, though, his interest in the subject slowly waned, replaced by the need for more adventure. He partnered with Chris Mamula, eventually releasing the reigns of the blog to Chris.In the intervening years, Darrow has spent considerable time in contemplation of purpose and meaning in retirement, an often under-discussed and potentially difficult reality. This spiritual journey ultimately led him to pursue a boyhood dream of hiking the Colorado Trail. To achieve this lofty goal, he faced mental and physical hurdles, including walking the length of the trail with forearm crutches. Darrow has been busy writing a memoir of that experience, titled Rain and Fire in the Sky: Beyond Doubt on the Colorado Trail. Additionally, he has created a new website dedicated to cataloguing and reviewing other trail memoirs, at trailmemoir.com, where you can keep up with the latest on his upcoming book.This interview offers a unique perspective on the softer side of financial optimization. We can be masters of technical methods of saving and investing, but ultimately none of that matters without clear direction, purpose, and meaning in our lives. As a retiree of twelve years and counting, Darrow has plenty of lessons for us all. Topics Discussed with Darrow Kirkpatrick:Darrow's climbing life: early free climbing and first ascentsDarrow's career: becoming a software engineer and working remotely, long before either of these career options were commonplaceFinding a path to financial independence in a time before widespread bloggingDarrow's key philosophy and methods to achieving financial independenceWhy Darrow sold CanIRetireYet.com to Chris MamulaFinding meaning and purpose in retirement and deciding to hike the Colorado TrailDarrow's physical and mental hurdles in life and on the trail, and specific methods to address these struggles.How Darrow leveraged financial strength to take a mid-career break for struggles with anxietyReflections on trail life, solitude in the wilderness, and writing a memoir of that experienceBalancing life on the road and a home lifeSocial connections for retirees and for those relocating to new townsMessaging early retirement in social situationsSo much more! Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com Get in Touch with Darrow KirkpatrickCanIRetireYet.comTrailmemoir.com Related Posts and InterviewsEP 17: Michael Langer: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (Clipping Chains)EP 18: Kenzie King: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (Clipping Chains)Fear and Limping (Alone) in Las Vegas (Clipping Chains)Eudaimonia: Key Pillars of the Meaningful Life (Clipping Chains)EP 53: Lee Cujes: No Free Lunch on the Life We Really Want (Clipping Chains)Peruse all Clipping Chains posts and interviews here.Darrow's 2023 Investment Portfolio (CanIRetireYet)Finding Your Purpose in a Long Retirement (CanIRetireYet)Over the Hill (Darrowkirkpatrick.com) Other Resources MentionedCritique Circle (online writing critique)SideStix Forearm Crutches BooksA Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Bill Bryson)Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail (Cheryl Strayed)The Wanting Was a Wilderness: Cheryl Strayed's WILD and the Art of Memoir (Alden Jones)How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: a Handbook for Personal Liberty (Harry Browne)Fail-Safe Investing: Lifelong Financial Security in 30 Minutes (Harry Browne)The Making of the Atomic Bomb (Richard Rhodes)Thousand-Mile Summer (Colin Fletcher)John McPhee Books

An interview with Steven Katz from Vick Mickunas.

Today on episode 18 I want to welcome Kenzie King. If you listened to last week's interview with Michael Langer you will recognize Kenzie as Michael's girlfriend. Kenzie and Michael walked away from lucrative engineering careers in Houston, Texas and moved into a van. Only months later, seemingly on a whim, they smashed the Pacific Crest Trail, hiking over 2,600 miles across California, Oregon, and Washington.I promise that this is not a retelling of last week's story. Kenzie has a very unique perspective on their journey. And regardless of your thoughts on the backpacking or thru-hiking, Kenzie shares a number of insightful opinions on the evolving dynamics of workplace culture, relationships in trying environments, and levels of financial or emotional security necessary to make bold and truly lasting changes in our lives. Hang on all the way to the end for some of the best moments of this conversation. Topics Discussed with Kenzie KingKenzie's original interest in achieving financial independence and retiring at approximately age 35Dreams of a year-long sabbatical to travel the worldPandemic change in plans: Van life and domestic travelVan life challenges and a desire for changeThe Pacific Crest Trail (navigating the lottery system, ideal start times, budgeting, food, day in the life routines)Richness of community on the trailSaving money versus living for todayTransitioning from the trail to the workforceImplications of the Great Resignation for workplace culture Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeSubscribe to the website: SUBSCRIBE ME! Pacific Crest Trail and Other Backpacking ResourcesPacific Crest Trail AssociationPCT Permits and Lottery SystemElina Osborne Youtube PageClever Hiker: Gear Reviews and TutorialsBackpack Weight Calculator Kenzie's Early Retirement InspirationMr. Money Mustache Recommended BooksA Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, By Bill BrysonWild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, By Cheryl Strayed Other Products MentionedFarOut AppMountain Mama Meals Clipping Chains Related PostsBut I Don't Want to Be FrugalWalking the Walk and Other Tales by FootThe Fallacy of Happiness and Meaningful WorkContentment: The Greenest Grass of Them AllVan Life: The Economics and Trade-OffsIn Contrast: The Reality of Life on the RoadThe Simple and Complicated Life on the RoadMaximize Adventure or Career?Early Retirement: Is It the Solution?Should I Quit My Job?

Today on episode 17 I want to give a very warm welcome to my guest Michael Langer, who along with his girlfriend Kenzie, walked away from lucrative engineering careers in Houston, Texas and moved into a van. Only months later, seemingly on a whim, they smashed the Pacific Crest Trail, hiking over 2,600 miles across California, Oregon, and Washington.Today we will hear Michael's perspective on this wild and unexpected journey, but it doesn't end there. Next week stay tuned for an interview with Kenzie King, who shares her own unique perspective and motivations for their abrupt shift in lifestyle. After all, it takes a special couple to trade a solid paycheck for a heavy pack and mosquitos for five months.   Topics Discussed with Michael Langer:Desire to leave well-paying jobs in Houston, TX and travel in a vanThe financial dilemma of saying “I quit.” More on how Michael and Kenzie funded their journey.Mental health and the need for a breakExposing who we really areHow Michael and Kenzie hiked the entire PCT having only backpacked three consecutive nights!Logistical considerations of hiking the PCT (gear, re-supply points, pack weight, day-in-the-life routines)Transition from the trail to society: culture shock and finding meaningful workStories from the trail: people, weather, and wildlifeWhy Michael doesn't see van living as a long-term way of life Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeSubscribe to the website: SUBSCRIBE ME! Get in Touch with Michael LangerMichael Langer on InstagramNervous Excitement on Instagram: Documenting People in Pursuit Pacific Crest Trail and Other Backpacking ResourcesPacific Crest Trail AssociationElina Osborne Youtube PageThe John Muir TrailClever Hiker: Gear Reviews and TutorialsBackpack Weight Calculator Recommended BooksA Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, By Bill BrysonWild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, By Cheryl Strayed Other Products Mentioned:Superfeet InsolesMountain Mama MealsEnlightened Equipment Clipping Chains Related PostsBut I Don't Want to Be FrugalWalking the Walk and Other Tales by FootThe Fallacy of Happiness and Meaningful WorkContentment: The Greenest Grass of Them AllVan Life: The Economics and Trade-OffsIn Contrast: The Reality of Life on the RoadThe Simple and Complicated Life on the RoadMaximize Adventure or Career?Early Retirement: Is It the Solution?Should I Quit My Job?

Enjoy our presentation of A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail written by Bill Bryson  and published by Thorndike Press. Bryson shares his experiences hiking the Appalachian Trail with a childhood friend. The two encounter eccentric characters, a blizzard, getting lost, and rude yuppies along the way.Following his return to America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The "AT" offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes--and to a writer with Bryson's comic genius, it also provides endless opportunities to test his own powers of ineptitude and to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. For a start there's his gloriously out-of-shape buddy from Iowa who accompanies the similarly unfit Bryson on the trail. Mile by arduous mile these latter-day pioneers survive the threat of bear attacks, the loss of key provisions, a gang of Ralph Lauren-attired yuppies, and a security guard who, for no reason, impounds Bryson's car. But Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this fragile and beautiful trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, a lament, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature.New York Times Best SellerPlease be advised, A Walk in the Woods contains depictions or discussions of sexual references and strong language.This title is available as an ebook and audiobook on Libby by Overdrive.Libby ebook:  https://bit.ly/WalkintheWoods_ebookLibby audio:  https://bit.ly/WalkintheWoods_audio Please visit www.calvertlibrary.info for more information. Music:  Beach Bum Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

In this week's episode, Katie is bewitched by the incredible survival story of Jose Salvador Alvarenga. In November 2012, Alvarenga headed out on a fishing trip despite warnings of a storm brewing. The routine trip soon turned life-threatening when engine failure and rough seas dragged Alvarenga and his mate, 22-year-old Ezequiel Cordoba, deep into the Pacific Ocean. For 438 days, Alvarenga survived at sea before washing ashore on the Marshall Islands. Alvarenga's survival is a story of incredible skill, intelligence, and sheer luck. In this episode we examine the psychological and physical obstacles Alvarenga overcame to become the first man to survive for over a year alone in the Pacific Ocean. Recommended books (all can be found in our bookshop): We are Not Free by Traci Chee Healthier Together by Liz Moody At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson 438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea by Jonathan Franklin Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster by John Krakauer Into the Wild by John Krakauer In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere by John “Lofty” Williams The Martian by Andy Weir The Children's Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin Hatchet by Gary Paulsen My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thereferencedesk)

Our guest today is bestselling writer Bill Bryson, whose books on travel, history and science celebrate our endless curiosity, our drive to discover and understand the mysteries of our world and of the universe itself. Readers followed Bryson's questing intelligence and wry humor in books about explorations like A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail and Notes from a Small Island. With 2003's wildly ambitious A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bryson followed his desire to overcome his dissatisfaction with his own early education in science. The result ranges from the birth of the universe to the evolutionary history of humankind, in under 600 pages.  He's gone on to write about everything from Shakespeare to Jazz Age America, but in his latest book The Body: A Guide for Occupants, Bryson returns to a set of mysteries at once everyday and profoundly elemental. It's an exploration of our inner universe in the company of a guide whose fascination about the secrets of the human organism is utterly infectious -- and as delightfully witty as any of his tales of wandering the globe, as B&N's Bill Tipper found our when he sat down with the author to talk about The Body and the multiple mysteries that lie within.

Rattlesnakes, a wolf at midnight, bears, unexpected snow, and a falling-down-exhausted back country hiker… long-distance solo rider Gillian Larson has seen it all from the saddle as she and her beloved horses, Shyla and Takoda, have covered thousands of miles between Mexico and Canada, and criss-crossed the American West. Alone.    Gillian has made multiple horseback treks from the Mexican border to British Columbia on the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail. She’s also the youngest person to ever solo through-ride the trail — and twice, at that! Since then, she’s completed thousands of miles on the Arizona Trail and the Colorado Trail — and, in September 2018 —  finished the Continental Divide Trail through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.   In this episode, Elise and Gillian discuss her daring adventures on her long-distance solo trail rides — from wildlife encounters to the technicalities of riding through rough terrain, and more. Gillian walks us through her personal experiences on various trails and shares the complexity of making such arduous journeys, including how she cares for the horses (and herself) on the trail, the extensive preparation, the mapping, and detailed research. And Gillian reminisces about some of the funny and entertaining interactions she’s had with various through-hikers she’s met along the way. You’ll want to tune in for this edition of Because of Horses!   Topics of Discussion: [:19] About Elise’s guest today, Gillian Larson.
