Bonus Episode: Mule Riding, Canyoneering and Skiing into a Pool: Uniquely Utah Adventures

During his day job Eric writes about Michigan football for Sports Illustrated and works at a Mexican Restaurant. However, during breaks from work, Eric takes solo travel experiences all around the world to some of the most exotic places. Eric’s confidence in travel began a few years ago when he attempted a 120-mile solo canoe trip on the Au Sable River in his hometown of Grayling. The seemingly familiar location and experience made Eric realize home is much more adventurous than we often think.  That accomplishment led Eric to eventually travel to the Amazon Rainforest, where he saw firsthand the destruction of the most biodiverse place on earth and immediately got involved in helping protect it.  @EricRutter11 on Instagram

Ep. 1032: From Canoeing in Michigan to Protecting the Amazon Rainforest - Eric Rutter

Originally aired August 22, 2021 At 37, Jesse McNeil—at times carpenter, commercial fisherman, dabbler in real estate—decided to buy an untrained horse, make himself into a horseman, and ride all the way across the United States, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. A fiercely independent traveler, Jesse had navigated previous coast-to-coast trips—solo journeys by moped, bicycle, and small airplane. This time, however, he had a partner: a five-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse named Pepper. An inexperienced horseman with an equally inexperienced mount, Jesse would quickly discover the immense challenges of his new undertaking. Over the course of eight months and fourteen states—beginning in Oregon and ending on a beach in New Hampshire—he would be tested many times over as he learned not only what it took to keep Pepper safe and healthy, but the true value of qualities that he had once easily dismissed: patience and companionship. The generosity of strangers, from helpful ranchers and storekeepers to suburban families, shaped the pair’s journey east. And while at some points the miles didn’t unfold as Jesse hoped, others yielded unexpected events that changed his perspective—and quite possibly, his future. Written with honesty, grit, and grace, On the Hoof captures an arduous voyage that broke a man down and built him back up, with the help of one special horse. To find out more about Jesse and his book, On the Hoof, which will be available on Aug 5th, go to onthehoofbook.com.  Facebook: @onthehoofusa Instagram: @onthehoofusa

Ep. 1031: Riding a Horse Across America - Revisited - Jesse McNeil

One of the hardest things to get over when trying new adventure sports as an adult is looking like a newbie. However, that’s exactly what we need to do in order to experience the joy of new adventures. Today, we’re talking to someone facing those challenges head on and bringing a camera with him so you can see exactly what it’s like.  With his enthusiasm for learning new things and his 6’5”, 250 pounds of questionably athletic mass, Paddy O’Connell is like an average, everyday outdoor enthusiast who’s been inflated way beyond average, standard size. With Paddy’s new show, PaddyO Sucks At, pairs him with coaches and mentors from different sports and activities, at which it’s doubtful he’ll excel, in a celebration of the one thing we can all relate to: being a beginner.
