Imagine hiking for 5 months straight, covering 2,000 miles of harsh terrain. Now imagine doing it with your wife and 6 kids. Yes, 6 kids. Today’s guest is Ben Crawford who set the record for the largest hike through the Appalachian trail with his family. His book, 2,000 Miles Together tells the story of this extreme family adventure, the physical challenges they faced, as well as the public ridicule threatened their journey.

Ben explains how incorporating kids into our adventures teaches them ownership, cooperation, and pride in contributing to a shared goal. He shows us how to challenge the status quo and raise our family according our values. He also talks about how to keep the family morale up when all the chips are down.

This story is as insane as it is inspiring. Get ready for extreme family adventure!
