In this episode of Base Weight we question whether hiking and backpacking are a means of escaping the lives we've created or the ultimate in reality.  Isn't being out there about as real as it gets?  Is immersing ourselves in nature the prescription for what ails us?  I also share lessons I learned from my experience hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland and how it changed my life.
