Welcome to episode 236! This week, Kristi Confortin from Trail Sisters Catskills joins me for a great conversation about her amazing organization and the community it’s building by connecting women with the outdoors. We chat about how Trail Sisters Catskills helps women get more comfortable and confident in the outdoor world, how the group has grown, and what makes the women’s outdoor community so incredibly supportive—and just how tight-knit this group can be. Plus, I dive into some other big happenings in the outdoor world, including Dale “Grey Beard” Sanders setting a new Appalachian Trail record as the oldest person to complete the trail, Cody Taylor setting a new FKT on Vermont’s Long Trail, and a recent rescue here in the Catskills. Make sure to subscribe on your favorite platform, share the show, donate if you feel like it… or just keep tuning in. I'm just grateful you're here. And as always... VOLUNTEER!!!!
