Stuntwoman, adventure filmmaker, and outdoor advocate Alice Ford unclips from the cables and drops into the Hiker Trash Radio studio to discuss a variety of adventures with Doc. This New Hampshire native shares how she got her start in the outdoors and in the stunt world, and talks about entry-level hikes, the attraction of solo hiking, female empowerment, indigenous cultures, pushing the limits, and embedding herself in the outdoors.

Settle in as Robin discusses tunneling ravens, burying your food, grandma's jello mold, what to do when your food runs away, power saving mode, a Denali expedition you won't believe, and cooking for a bachelorette party. Wild.

Epic guest.

Epic.

One of 10 children, as they say, Simon and John have taken very different approaches to outdoor adventures.

The discussion covers enough ground to earn any listener at least 5 units of university credit, with topics such as convicts, cannibals, T Rex Syndrome, synchronicity, Allgood, Queen Bee and Spreadsheet, the Barkley, redback spiders, empty-handed leaps of faith, sherpas, age disruptors, tough Tazzie, Big Martin, Stranger Danger, and a Scottish guy named Andy from Canada. All that, and a whole bunch more. A. WHOLE. BUNCH.
