In this episode, we explore the surprising parallels between Star Trek and hiking, inspired by David Passarelli's insights.

From Captain Kirk's climb up El Capitan in Star Trek V to the hiker's journey through uncharted trails, both worlds share a spirit of discovery and adventure.

We delve into the connection between the Prime Directive and the 'Leave No Trace' hiking ethic, and how preparation, respect for nature, and curiosity unite trekkers and Starfleet officers alike.

Whether it's a distant galaxy or a forest path, the essence of exploration remains the same.

Live long and prosper!
