Get After It Pdx

Hear former aspiring chef turned thru-hiker and all-around adventurer Daniel White, aka the Blackalachian, talk about growing up in Asheville, North Carolina (after being born in Bruce Springsteen's hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey) and his early experiences in the outdoors fishing and hiking with his family,  how he got into basketball during an early growth spurt that saw him shoot up to nearly 6' 3", how a variety of jobs and a series of ups and downs--including a break up with a girlfriend and distress over the 2016 election cycle and results--resulted in suddenly undertaking a major adventure: thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail with zero prior experience backpacking, what doors opened and how his life trajectory shifted after that transformative experience, his love of history that led to biking the Underground Railroad route, how he's become a much-followed figure in the outdoor/thru-hiking world, his next projects and travels and advice regarding money, and much more!
