On this bonus episode, we bring you tales from Out There’s live storytelling night earlier this month.

Each story touches on the theme of being a beginner in the outdoors:

• Ashley White shares the story of his son’s injury on their first-ever backpacking trip together

• Jessica Taylor explores the lessons she’s learning as she transitions from life in a house to a life on the road

• Natasha Buffo reflects on the intertwined experiences of falling in love with backpacking, and losing a parent
