Caitlyn Nalder is one of the most pure hearted, down to earth people I have ever known. She is one of my Anasazi trail mothers, who taught me how to be a trailwalker at Anasazi.

She has been backcountry guide at the Anasazi Foundation for several years, a wilderness survival instructor for California Survival School, a contestant of the TV show ‘Bushcraft Build Off’, and backpacked 700 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail with Lexy Newby. It is possible that I have spent more time in the wilderness with Caitlyn than any other person on earth, and I have no complaints about that!

Part 1 of my interview with Caitlyn was in the cold, snowy Wasatch mountains, and Part 2 was done in Caitlyn’s home because it was too cold out there for us to continue to form logical words from our frozen brains.

Follow Caitlyn!
