This week's featured adventure stories

Tony Epp's Adventure Story:
I Finally Feel Alive

Tony is an inspiring dude. He recently retired from the Navy where he experienced life underwater, literally. He lived in a submarine.  

At the time this episode airs he’s currently exploring the far reaches of India, and he’ll come back just in time to hike the PCT this summer and finish that just in time to start nursing school by the Fall! 

Tony's story in this episode is one of wander, curiosity, perseverance, and grit. Enjoy but remember, when planning similar trips, go with your 10 essentials, extra layers, asthma inhaler if you use one, and, Tony recommends to take along a transponder for location detection too.

Adventure Quote from Tony Epps

I wish we would have done better / prepared better – we should have read recent trail reports. That was our biggest fault. ~Tony Epps reflecting on the story he told about an adventure gone very wrong in the Olympic National Park.

Julie Moss's Adventure Story:
Lessons Learned in the Dark

Julie Moss has been telling stories since she was a little girl.  She is now a professional storyteller who has told stories across the U.S.

Julie’s story may not be about an outdoor adventure, but it is a demonstration of how a professional story is told, and that’s why we included it. When listening, pay close attention to Julie’s word selection, attention to detail, and how she uses voice intonation and volume to make the story really come alive to the listener.

Adventure Quote From Boldly Went Host, Angel Mathis

Julie’s story is a good demonstration about the various risks that we each assume every day. In this episode we’ve heard about a range of injuries including a serious tendon injury sustained during a 28 hour non-stop running adventure that was successfully treated with some stitches, a leg injury after jumping from a plane more than a mile above ground, and, the most dangerous of all, sleeping over at an unfamiliar house which resulted in a liver laceration and several days of inpatient hospitalization. 

The point is, be responsible, plan ahead, make efforts to minimize your risk, but no matter how much planning you do, risk of injury will never be zero. So you may as well chase that dream, and do something you’ve always wanted!

For some of you, that might be to share your adventure story in front of a live audience. Use Julie’s story as a model for when you’re writing and practicing your story, then come and share it with us at an upcoming event.
