Bartle is a ultra long distance walker/hiker/runner and has great expertise and passion for surviving and thriving off the land. 

Bartle tells the story of what led her from her pre-professional life as a Ballerina in Ohio to running across the wilderness of the west wearing a buckskin skirt she made, and eating roots and rendered deer fat for nourishment along the way.

She would be known as an "ultra marathon" runner by most, but she prefers the title "Freedom Runner." She has never ran in any kind of official race but instead chooses to participate in what she calls "Adventure Runs." What the heck is that? Listen and find out. Also you may be wondering, is Bartle her real name? What's the deal with that? Listen and find out.
