Episode 95 The Outdoor Evolution of Darwin
It never fails that when I dive down the backpacking rabbit hole on YouTube, I find myself watching a video by Darwin. He’s a constant voice of solid outdoor information and at the time of this podcast release has over 200k subscribers on YouTube. He’s literally helping hundreds of thousands of people reach their outdoor goals by providing real and honest backcountry advice based on his own personal experiences.
This episode explores the personal backpacking journey of Darwin. You’re going to hear what his life was like prior to backpacking and where it’s now headed. In this interview, Darwin explains the ups and downs of the trail, what inspires him to keep going, and what it means to be a creative that is part of the trail community.
I absolutely love this episode and am honored to have had a chance to connect with Darwin on such personal topics. If you’re in the need for a little entertainment and some inspiration, this episode is going to do you some good!
