EP 142 Tip To Tip With the Hiking Viking

Category: Sports & Recreation

Description:

The REAL Hiking Viking, aka Jabba, joins the podcast to talk about his upcoming hike up the Continental Divide Trail, life before backpacking, and the importance of doing what makes you happy in life. I’ve known Jabba for a while now and bumped into him a few places, but this is the first time we’ve had a chance to sit down to have a conversation. The last time we spoke, he introduced me to the magic that is double-stuffed Oreo and since that was pretty game-changing for me, I figured he probably had something else up his sleeves to share.

As it turns out, he did. This conversation isn’t about anything in particular, but it IS about a lot of things. It’s about life as a “professional” backpacker, finding what gives you enjoyment and pursuing that, knowing where you’ve come from, and looking forward to where you’re going.

Emory, By Land
