In this episode, Lucy Bellwood joins host Rose "Comics" Turner for a rousing conversation about a little bit of everything. Tall ship sailing? Yes. Juggling social media and privacy? Yes. Diving into long-term projects? Yes. The pros and cons of isolation in and out of the wilderness? Yes. 

At the end of the episode, as always, is the Adventure Memoir segment. This week, Lucy recommended Narrow Waters by Dee Carstarphen. And at the very VERY end, there is a special surprise.

(okay, fine, you can find the surprise again here )

This is Doodles' last episode! For now, at least. We thought she should interview Comics as a send off. 

In this episode, Comics shares about her adventures on the Appalachian Trail, some of her early comics and other art, and that one time when she recorded her will in Ireland. As always, at the end of the episode we share about an adventure memoir that you should add to your reading list.

Song at the end is one that Comics wrote on the trail. It can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/hexyeah/golden-people-by-hex-yeah

In this episode, Comics interviews her friends in Ireland. Their trail names are Fizzy, Bear, and Sweeps. If you're curious what it's like for kids / families to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail or do any kind of long distance backpacking and adventuring together, they offer some great insights in this conversation. Sweeps discusses some of the backpacking gear he's made for his family. The three of them share what the pandemic has been like in Ireland. 

Our Adventure Memoir for this episode (discussed at the end) is Hikertrash: Life on the Pacific Crest Trail by Erin Miller.

In this episode, Comics interviews Kerstin A. La Cross, an adventure cartoonist who specializes in educational comics about the back country. Doodles is introduced as a co-host! We also introduce our first edition of the Adventure Memoirs segment. Additionally, we announce a giveaway contest. See the instagram post for details: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7mQqXshLBE/  

Kerstin A. La Cross is an Adventure Cartoonist and illustrator based in the Pacific Northwest. While not galavanting in the mountains, they make comics about hiking, wilderness safety, and mental health. Their current comic project is ‘BASHers’, a memoir webcomic chronicling their first long-distance backpacking trip, where they hiked 100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail and learned the difference between strength and stubbornness, and what it’s like to have your first asthma attack in the middle of nowhere
