Today I'm interviewed by another podcast called Backpacking and Blisters. I'll be talking about my experiences and close calls with danger in the outdoors, including nearly dying three times. We talk about solo backpacking, mountaineering goals, and encounters with challenging conditions such as bogs and unexpected weather. Other topics include the importance of having and not having trekking poles in critical situations, my preferences for backpacking gear, and his upcoming plans to tackle the Wonderland Trail solo.
