James just got back from seven days of backcountry hunting in the Sawtooth Wilderness with his son. 90 miles down a dirt road, no phone service, nights in the 20s, and more than 55 miles of hiking! He pulled a muscle coming down a cliff. He left his thyroid medication in the base camp tent. He never got the elk.
And... he'd do it again tomorrow.
This episode is the full debrief: what backcountry hunting actually looks like, what seven days completely off the grid does to a person, and how James accidentally ended up in an alpine lake in his boxers while deciding he absolutely was not going in.
And at the end, Cara makes it a Kerouacs Cruising episode by asking the obvious question: what does any of this have to do with the rest of your life?
Also, there's a teaser for something new that's been cooking. More on that soon.
