Kiwi tramper and author Victoria Bruce joins Doc in the studio to talk about her Te Araroa thru hike with her seven-year-old daughter and her subsequent book she wrote about it. Settle in and buckle up as Victoria opens up about her traumatic childhood, PTSD, addiction, and the healing powers of the trail. Along the way, she discusses bush bashing, loaded nachos, using the Billy, pre-teen parenting, and the relief of taking off the mask. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
