Happy Tuesday! This podcast episode is another Trail Talk Nuggets segment and the 13th overall To Summit Up Podcast. I recorded this episode on a short walk in Webster, NY after a day in the office. The trail talk nugget segments are turning out to be pretty decompressing and therapeutic. The premise behind them is to help me ensure that I practice what I preach. Not all time spent in the outdoors has to be on huge elaborate trips. Spending a little time each day to get out and walk (even if it is only for 10 minutes) can go a long way mentally and physically.

In this episode I talk about:

Thanksgiving and the traditions that I am looking forward to including the 8th annual Turkey Bowl Football Game.

My life outside of mountains including my current day job and my band.

Podcast guests coming up (interviews come out on Fridays) with topics of Adirondacks, New Zealand, and the connection between mental health and mountains.
