Transcribe →Table To Trail: Plant Based Recipes for Day Hikers with Marty Cowan
Jun 3, 202200:51:50Tap to summarizeFinding good food to take with you on a hike can always be a challenge. Trail Mix and energy bars can only go so far. Marty Cowan is trying to change that. She wrote the book - Table to Trail: Plant Based Meals for Day Hikers. This book focuses on easily transportable meals you can cook ahead and have a nice picnic out on the trails. We talk about the book, having a plant based diet, and what motivated Marty to make some lifestyle changes and how she has stuck to the plan for over a decade. A really fun conversation.

May 27, 202200:13:28Tap to summarizeHiking can be a great activity with friends or a truly satisfying solo adventure. This week on the podcast I go over one of my blogs, Hiking Alone Not Lonely Hiking. I have spent a lot of time on the trail by myself and it is an amazing feeling that might be perfect for some.

That and the Hike of the week in this weeks podcast. #hiking #hikes #nature #outdoors #adventure #trekking #wanderlust #podcast #exploremore #hikemoreworryless
Transcribe →Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Donations from the Colorado Lottery with Director Tom Seaver
May 20, 202200:38:03Tap to summarizeMost people who enjoy Outdoor Recreation in Colorado don't realize how much of what they enjoy is actually funded by the Colorado Lottery. I spoke with the Director of the lottery, Tom Seaver, about the unique program that has provided BILLIONS of dollars for outdoor organizations throughout Colorado. We talk about the program itself and a fraction of the projects that it is currently helping to fund. I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the lands that we all enjoy from playgrounds to state parks have been supported by this project. A very fun and informative interview. #outdoors #outdoorrecreation #nature #colorado #hiking #podcast #interview #parks #playgrounds #coloradolottery

Backcountry safety with Anna from Summit County Rescue Group
Jan 28, 202200:42:08Tap to summarizeHiking and outdoor recreation can be dangerous but there are simple ways to lessen the risks. Anna volunteers with the Summit County Rescue Group, one of the teams tasked with finding backcountry recreationists when things go bad. We talk about tips on how to stay safe, warning signs of danger, and the fact that many of the teams that are coming to help you are volunteers. If you like to recreate in the outdoors this is one podcast you don't want to miss. Anna wasn't able to have video for the podcast because she was just too busy but the information is so important I had to put the video together to make sure that people have the information. Some more information that we talk about in the hike can be found here: Summit County Rescue Group: www.scrg.org Colorado Avalanche Information Center: www.avalanche.state.co.us Colorado Search and Rescue: www.ColoradoSAR.com If you travel in the backcountry or no someone who does please take a few minutes to listen to the podcast and please share and send it to someone to help keep them safe! I have been on about 200 hikes in the backcountry and I still learned a ton from talking with Anna! #hiking #outdoors #safety #outdoorsafety #nature #adventure #explore #backcountry #backcountrysafety #podcast #interview
