In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam sits down for a brand new episode of Trail Talk. This time, all about the Pyrenees High Route(or Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne), HRP for short. Cam just returned home from a 1-month-long thru-hike of the HRP, from the Atlantic Ocean, through Spain, France & Andorra, to the Mediterranean Sea. He gives a rundown of the trail and his experience, including as much useful information as he could jam-pack into the episode, which should be helpful for anyone interested in hiking this trail themselves. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Mark Gresser. Mark is a zoologist and adventurer, and has just completed one of the craziest hikes you’ll ever hear about. He walked over 6,000km from the Western-most point to the Eastern-most point of Australia, right through the middle. Almost 11 months of walking through deserts, boggy sand in some of the most brutal conditions on Earth. Mark dragged a cart full of supplies and gear, sometimes weighing over 200kg, the entire way across.
