Author Caroline Paul has always filled her life with adventure. Now in her late fifties, she expects this new stage of life to be every bit as invigorating and full of high adrenalin escapades as the last. But as she skateboards, paddles a SUP, or surfs in cold winter swell alongside many men her age, she sees fewer and fewer older women. Isn’t the outdoors a vital elixir? Shouldn’t adventure be something we pursue as we age?These are the questions Caroline Paul asks in her new book, Tough Brough. Among the interviews were 93-year-old hiker Dot Fisher-Smith, 80-year-old SCUBA diver Louise Wholey, 52-year-old BASE jumper Drew Brooks, and the many septuagenarian Wave Catchers, who boogie board together in the San Diego surf. These women aren’t famous. They aren’t experts. But their experiences offer important insight into our own physical and emotional health as we age.Caroline dives deep into the research on aging, but also accompanies older women on bird-watching outings, sea kayaking excursions, swim laps, and walks in the park, among other outdoor adventures, and begins to see her own future in a new and dazzling light. Combining scientific research, cultural studies, psychology, and personal stories, Tough Broad is a high-spirited call for women to embrace the outdoors, not back away from it, in our fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond.Caroline Paul is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Gutsy Girl: Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure and Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology, which has been translated into fifteen languages. She is also the author of the memoir Fighting Fire, the middle-grade book You Are Mighty: A Guide to Changing the World, and the novel East Wind, Rain. Her TED Talk, “To Raise Brave Girls, Encourage Adventure,” has been viewed over 2 million times. A longtime member of the Writers Grotto, she lives in San Francisco.You can get Tough Broad starting March 5, 2024 by following the link below: https://www.carolinepaul.com/tough-broadAdditional book link: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/tough-broad-9781635576498/Website: https://www.carolinepaul.com/Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 1012: How Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age - Caroline Paul

Originally aired April 12, 2019.Kristin Knight Pace is one tough person. Not many people would go to Alaska during the winter, completely alone, to take care of a team of sled dogs to get over a recent divorce. However, that's exactly what she did. That toughness has also led her to become one of only 29 women to complete both the Iditarod and the Yukon Question 1000-mile sled dog races. Kristin is now remarried and has started a new journey, motherhood. She also works as a wilderness planner for Denali National Park and has recently written a book about her experiences, This Much Country. It can be found following the link below or pretty much anywhere else you buy books. We hope you enjoy listening to this life outside the box!The book: This Much CountryInstagram: @heymoosekennelOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 1011: Dog Sledding, the Iditarod, & Life in Alaska - Revisited - Kristin Knight Pace

When Craig and his buddy, Skip,  applied for the longest paddle race in the world in 2019, he had no idea how much that decision would change his life. Once selected, the realization that he had never done anything like this, had no real skills or talent in paddling, and knew nothing about adventure started flooding his mind. However Craig and Skip committed to giving it their best effort and put a plan together to train, learn, and go from never racing before to completing a fully self-supported 1,000-mile paddle through some of the most remote wilderness in North America. At 46 years young, Craig wanted to inspire others to push themselves and take on challenges that go beyond their comfort zone. When I applied for the Yukon 1000 in 2019 I had not taken part in any feat of endurance.  Learn more about Craig:instagram.com/craigsawyer77instagram.com/thesupcoachwww.abovesixsix.co.ukhttps://www.theshac.co.uk/instagram.com/thesurreyhillsadventurecompany/Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 1009: Alaska Adventures and Packrafting - Revisited - Roman Dial

After years of watching his dad participate in endurance adventure races, Hunter begged him to let him join in on a race. His dad looked around at all his fellow competitors and noticed there wasn't a single kid out there let alone someone even in their 20s. Dad was eventually convinced to let Hunter do a 6-hour adventure race at 7 years old!That kicked off an adventure career that spans some of the most difficult challenges in adventure racing, including many “youngest ever” records. Today we’re talking about Hunter’s most recent experience, a fastest known time of the iconic Florida Trail, the official thru-hike of winter! The 1,100 mile trek through swamp, sand, and skeeters was completed by Hunter in 21.5 days. Learn more about hunter: https://www.instagram.com/hunter_leiningerhttps://fastestknowntime.com/athlete/hunter-leiningerOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 1008: Florida Trail FKT - Hunter Leininger

Hey y’all! Doing something a little different today. I want to share the formula that my friends and I have come up with in recent years to ensure we get out and adventure on a regular basis. As the host of this show, I probably don’t get out there as much as you’d think, only because of the time of life and the fact a lot of my free time is used in producing the podcast! This formula has helped us ensure we put adventure on the calendar and make it happen. This mindset has been heavily inspired by Frazer Buntin’s annual “Big Trip”, which you can learn more about in Episode 717: How to Pull off an Epic Yearly Adventure With Your Friends - Frazer Buntin. https://www.adventuresportspodcast.com/2021/05/ep-717-how-to-pull-off-epic-yearly.htmlIf you have any questions about how we do it, please reach out!

Ep. 1007: My Adventure Formula - Mason Gravley

For the last several years Heather Bolint has led a nomadic lifestyle, initially inspired by her decision to quit her job and thru-hike the Appalachian Trail as a solo female. You might have heard about her hiker fame of rescuing an abandoned rooster on the AT and hiking with him for 42 miles, earning the trail name "mama cluck". Since then, Heather has also thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, Florida's Ocean to Lake Trail, paddled the 99-mile Everglades Wilderness Waterway, and hiked 1,100 miles around the coastline of Florida while collecting 3 tons of plastic from the beaches.Heather's most recent adventure of paddling nearly 400 miles of the Intracoastal Waterway was inspired by an idea she had when her parents moved south from her home state of Maine. After her father's death in 2022, she decided to fulfill her dream in remembrance of her father, and discover the healing properties of adventuring in nature.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.bolintInstagram: @forthechickensLearn more about the Marine Resources Council: https://savetheirl.org/Sponsor Messages:The Magic Mind team created a super offer for me to share with y’all.

Ep. 1006: Paddling the Intracoastal Waterway - Heather Bolint

Originally aired March 1, 2021.Wesley was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy which affects his fine motor skills on the right side of his body. The only problem? He finds peace and joy climbing mountains and hiking trails in places that folks with cerebral palsy “aren’t supposed to go”. He couldn’t let that stop him. His love for the outdoors has led him to climb every mountain in Colorado over 14,000 ft (54 of them), thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail (2,653 miles) from Mexico to Canada, and has ultimately led to a career in the outdoors.To learn more about Welsey and to watch his films:Film: Within WeaknessInstagram: @wesleytrimbleAmerican Hiking SocietyOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Originally aired Sept. 6, 2021. Read about Jacob’s recent attempt to ski to the South Pole: https://outdoors.com/almost-history-inside-a-failed-polar-expedition/Jacob Myers thru-hiked the Arizona Trail early this year and is joining us today to tell us all about it! Not only was the desert vastly different from the lush, rainforest-like Appalachian Mountains he grew up in, but it was one of the driest summers on record in Arizona, making the adjustment even more challenging. He dealt with sun poisoning, lack of water, and extreme heat. His next adventure will be quite literally on the opposite end of the spectrum...crossing glaciers in Norway. Learn more about Jacob: www.ValhallaHikes.com Jacob’s Instagram: @vertboyvalOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 1001: 76 Days Adrift at Sea in a Life Raft - Revisited - Steve Callahan

Alastair Humphreys is a British adventurer and author who famously spent over 4 years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents. This was followed by a walk across India, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, running six marathons through the Sahara desert, a crossing of Iceland, busking through Spain and an expedition in the Arctic. Despite these massive adventures, Alastair is most famous for coining the concept of “microadventures” which earned him National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and numerous awards for his book of that name. The whole point of microadventures is that you do not need much time, money or specialized gear. A microadventure can be anything that feels fresh, new and challenging for you. This was the subject of our last conversation with Alastair back in 2019. You can listen to that here. Today we’re talking about taking the concept of microadventures to a whole new level. Most recently Alastair has spent a whole year exploring the land within 10 kilometers of his home. Every week, he would pick a new place within that range to explore and camp. The change and perspective shift that he experiences through this adventure has caused a massive shift in his outlook, which we’ll get into today.  Learn more about this experience through his new book, Local: A Search for Nearby Nature and Wilderness.

Ep. 999: The Colorado 14ers Thru-Hike - Revisited - Junaid Dawud

Hey y’all! This is new for me, a recap of a personal adventure. Although this trip was NOTHING compared to what some of our guests have done, it was a fun micro-adventure that got way more press and attention than I thought it would. My good friend, Jordon, and I set out on New Year's Eve to be the first people (we know of) to paddle across the largest lake in Florida, Lake Okeechobee. The route was a straight shot from North to South for 35 miles, taking just under 12 hours. Also, if you don’t have months off work and life to do something fun, take it from me, 11.5 hours is plenty of time to get all the same fulfillment and soul-filling adventure! Thank you to Bluefin SUP for helping sponsor the trip!

It was 23 months after Peter’s accident and he was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany: "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better, right?”With no real camping or outdoor experience, Peter set a starting date a mere three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it.Find Peter’s Book, Only When I Step On It, below:https://www.amazon.com/Only-When-Step-Inspiring-Appalachian/dp/1737049007Also, you can support The Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here. Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/* Check out Tecovas and use my code ADVENTURE for a great deal: http://www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Listen to NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast on your favorite podcast app. “Future You” will thank you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
