192 Rise Of The Recreational Rookie

On this episode we debate the rise on the novice hiker and how it’s shaping our outdoor recreation. With little room for error in life altering scenarios, where does experience benefit the average hiker. This is a two-part series on the increase in interest in the outdoors and the impacts of these demands. Have recent events irreversibly saturated our trails and the outdoors?

Experience means doing the same thing over and over.
