We all like to share the best moments from our outdoor adventures, but sometimes our most difficult experiences are the most rewarding. On this week’s episode, we look past the pretty photos to share experiences that pushed us to the limit — and taught us some valuable lessons in the process.

We want to hear your stories, too! To submit your own campfire story, leave a message on our podcast hotline, 503-221-4345, or send a voice memo to [email protected]. We’ll be featuring some of our favorites in future episodes, and we’d love to hear from you.
