Tony Deis of Trackers Earth joins us to talk about outdoor education, survival skills, and the value of community, and we make some connections to our interests in simpler living and bicycling. You might be surprised how much talk there is about LARPing, and how telling and participating in stories influences the way we think about the world around us.
Also: Oscars, our upcoming bicycle tour, ring bearers & Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
