Morgan McShea chased her passions for fashion and filmmaking, but ultimately found disillusionment instead. She unexpectedly discovered a greater purpose in the natural environments of the Pacific Northwest. Jason and Morgan sat on the porch of her tiny home one afternoon discussing her path to sustainable practices, the value of forest bathing, why we all need to connect with nature, and the personal rewards of roller derby.

Cub Scout Drop-out Bill Sharpsteen became enamored with outdoor exploration on a high school backpacking trip. His inquisitive sensibilities and desire for adventure lead him to a career as a journalist, photographer, and documentary producer. His latest project is the YouTube channel Mr. Hall’s Trail Guide, a video resource to numerous hiking trails around the world. Jason and Bill conversed one afternoon about an ill-fated PCT attempt, an emotional journey along the Camino Frances, the wonders of canyoneering, his adventures in journalism, the challenges of building a home, and why he came to fear sled dogs.
