On this edition of the Summit Sessions I'll speak with two hikers who spend next to all of their time in the woods off trail, bushwhacking their way around the Adirondack park and seeing places most hikers never will.

In this Summit Session I had the opportunity to speak with Adirondack legend, Erik Schlimmer, author and founder of the TransADK route. Erik's outdoors resume is extraordinary as he's hiked over 15,000 miles, spent over 1,000 nights in the woods, an avid bushwhacker, and explored more of the Adirondack park and the northeast than anyone I've ever met.

Today I enjoyed a spontaneous afternoon hiking the Tupper Lake Triad as the winter season starts coming to an end. Coney Mountain, Goodman Mountain, and Mt Arab make up this terrific little ADK Hiking challenge and is a perfect choice for the whole family or someone who wants a lot of bang for very little buck on the summit. Is it Spring yet?

In the second edition of the Summit Sessions I'll talk all things gear with Kenny Kendall. Kenny is a very experienced hiker and outdoorsman, who also spent over ten years as a Recon soldier in the military and has also worked in the outdoor gear industry. Needless to say, the man knows what he's talking about and loves to talk gear.

In honor of Friday the 13th this is the first edition of The 46 of 46 Campfire Story series. A spooky campfire story from the southern Adirondacks. Be careful going camping by yourself; you never know what's lurking behind your tent after dark.

In this Summit Sessions I'll speak with Joanthan Zaharek about his Single-Season Winter 46 attempt along with winter camping and why he has to complete the winter 46 in a single season.

Today I'm back on the Lower Great Range hitting Sawteeth, Pyramid, Gothics, Armstrong, Upper Wolfjaw, and Lower Wolfjaw. However some cramping may cut the day short unless I decide to push through.

Today's spontaneous weekday afternoon adventure would take me up local-favorite Owl's Head just off route 73 between Lake Placid and Keene. This trail is closed on weekends so despite the 50mph wind gusts and fresh morning snow it was as good a time as any to visit this little Adirondack gem.

Another Live From the Trail episode where I'll take you up and down the mountains on this entire hike solely from audio recorded in the moment out on the trail.
