Settle in and buckle up as Walkabout details his struggle with alcoholism and how hiking has changed his life. This Melbourne native discusses his 2025 Appalachian Trail hike, Bubblewrap, the benefits of being a pillow snob and not being a gram weenie, fun with norovirus, hitching with the 5-0, Zippo, solo hiking, six years of sobriety, and the glorious struggle of both life and the trail. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
