Oftentimes the best adventures are not in the most well-known places or in the most dramatic of sceneries. Hidden gems of adventure are all around us. In fact, as we say on this show, adventure is anywhere you are.
Alexandre had his sights set on Turkey, a country he had longed to visit. Little did he know, the adjacent and lesser-traveled country of Georgia would quickly become one of his favorite places in his more than seven-year full-time travel adventure.

Renata is a legendary Czech-born adventurer and mountaineer. She was the first Swedish and Czech woman to climb Mount Everest and was listed in Outside Magazine as one of the world’s “25 adventure goddesses."
In 2005, after the death of her partner, Göran Kropp (also a well-known adventurer), she embarked on what she calls the "Around America Adventure". She would circumnavigate the lower 48 US states by bike and kayak. When biking, she would pull her kayak behind her with a set of two wheels and while kayaking, she would ship her bike ahead of her at the next portion of the trip.
She started in Seattle and paddled to San Diego, bicycled San Diego to Brownsville, Texas, continued kayaking around Florida to Eastport, Maine, and then bicycled back to Seattle across the northern portion of the US. Through this experience she became the first person to circumnavigate the US this way. This is a wild, unique, and beautiful story of what a true adventure really means.
Through podcast and film, Fitz Cahall has helped tell stories that define the outdoor community. He founded the original outdoor podcast, the Dirtbag Diaries, back in 2007 and co-hosts Climbing Gold with Alex Honnold.
His new book, States of Adventure, pulls together 30 stories from past podcast episodes that will inspire you to pack a rucksack, head outside and push yourself to new heights. From completing the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in a wheelchair bike to swapping the city for vanlife in Yosemite, States of Adventure promises a host of real-world adventures stronger than fiction.
Fitz serves as creative director at the branding and story studio Duct Tape Then Beer. When he's not working, you can find him exploring the Cascades.

You might not think of Alabama as holding many records in the world of endurance races (at least I didn’t), however, you’d be wrong! Alabama is home to the Great Alabama 650, a 650-mile paddle race down the Alabama Scenic River Trail going from the northern part of the state out to the Gulf of Mexico. Racers face whitewater, battle tidewater currents, and hike around a dozen dams in an effort to reach the ocean and are expected to finish between 7-10 days.
Today we’re talking with the AL650 race director, Greg Wingo to learn just how challenging a race like this is to plan as well as compete in.
Also, Adventure Sports Podcast is now a sponsor of Greg’s other race, Last Paddler Standing. Mason will be commentating during the LPS in December.

Elise is a runner, author and all-round outdoors lover. In 2016 she became the first woman and youngest person to run self-supported around the coast of the UK – an adventure she was completely unqualified for, as an unexperienced runner whose athletic career consisted of one horrendous marathon dressed as a Crayola crayon. She is the author of best-selling book Coasting, which tells the story of her adventure and aims to show others that you don’t need to be the best at something to achieve something big. You just have to be the one who does it.
You can buy her book, Coasting, at her website:

Hey folks!
Although this episode was going to be about fly fishing basics, Dave is a podcaster, so we ended up talking quite a bit about his show, Wet Fly Swing, and not so much about fly fishing itself.
However, it’s a great conversation and I really enjoyed getting to know Dave. I hope you enjoy it too!
Dave’s guide for Adventure Sports Podcast listeners to get into fly fishing and some of his best tips for getting started: https://wetflyswing.com/getting-started-with-fly-fishing-the-best-tips-from-600-podcast-episodes/
