We are SO pumped (and proud) to see Andy Laub camelscabana and Elina Osborne Elina Osborne launch their new doc series, Hayduke.

One episode in and we’re blown away. The visuals. The characters. The way they connect with each other and the land. And hot damn, that soundtrack! Logan Bowden 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve had a front row seat to some of the process, since Andy’s next film, co directed with Titouan Le Roux Titouan Le Roux , is our very own Lowest to Highest. I know how much sweat went into this one, and the results are beautiful.

Hit our stories for the YouTube link and give it a watch. Then go follow these filmmakers and everyone in the film. See what adventures and projects they’ve poured their lives into. Trust me, these folks are worth getting to know.

Great news! We are officially able to bring on another runner to hit the pavement for our Hike the Good Hike fundraising team.

This fall, LINDSEY ROBISON , Richard Gilreath , and I will be running the Cambridge Half Marathon to raise funds for HTGH. We are incredibly excited to be fully transitioning into a storytelling and documentary production organization, and every single contribution directly supports our new programming. Your backing enables us to share powerful, raw narratives from individuals who have utilized the outdoors to navigate their mental health journeys.

Our new direction takes center stage with our upcoming major documentary, Lowest to Highest (L2H), scheduled for release in 2027. It’s a project that showcases the exact kind of honest, real-world stories we need more of right now.

If you are inspired to support the cause, you can make a donation through the link in our bio. And if you want to lace up your shoes and run either the Cambridge 5K or the full half-marathon on our behalf, reach out to me directly. Let’s expand this impact together.

Hike The Good Hike!

“I don’t know how or what it will look like, but I promise you I will create something from these six months spent on the Appalachian Trail. It will be built from the simplest fact: storytelling inspired me to take on the most unsimple trek of this 2,200-mile trail.”

This was the promise I made to Mother Nature on the final day of my 2015 AT thru-hike. And in a lot of ways, I failed to stay true to it.

I started listening to others who told me I was doing it all wrong. They told me a storytelling organization would never be understood. They said I needed to build something specific to a single cause, tailored to a precise demographic. It needed to be measurable, neat, and predictable, not vague. Lacking any experience in the non-profit world, I listened. Some of what they said made sense on paper. But in the process of listening to them, my own voice was drowned out.

Deep down, I have always believed that storytelling, and the countless ways we share it, is our ultimate tool for reaching those who are stuck in the quiet. Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods and Andy Laub’s As It Happens documentary didn’t just inspire me; they saved my life.

Hike the Good Hike will fight to produce and share the untold stories from the wild that need to be heard. I’m returning to my promise. It’s my job now to find the people who already understand the gravity of a good story, and to guide the ones who just need to see its impact.

I’ll leave you with this: Is there a book that changed the course of your life?

Awareness is just a fraction of the battle. The real fight lies in the heavy lifting that follows, especially when it comes to the alarming reality of men’s mental health. Every day, never mind a single month, should bring awareness to mental health challenges and needs.

Turn the sound on for this one. The question isn’t whether we can make a difference. The question is: who is actually willing to do it? Let’s stop waiting for someone else to step up.

I spent years winning the masquerade. I was a professional at living behind a smile while the screams stayed buried in the static.

I told the boy I used to be that I was coming back for him. This is the other side of that promise.

I’m still walking, but I’m not running anymore. I’m rooting myself into this high desert soil and molding a life that finally feels like mine. The air is still thick with the struggle of being human, but the lasso around my neck has been cut loose.

This smile is different now. It’s not a mask. It’s held with a blast of hope and a transparency I finally earned. It’s no longer how I hide. It’s how I show myself.

We face it together.

This story of mine continues on.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever shared here.

I don’t know how it will land. I’ve found my way to sharing pieces of my truth before, but this has always been different. This is the most exposed I’ve ever felt in this journey.

I tried to tell this story the “right” way first, whatever that means. Publications, podcasts, bigger platforms. Not seeking attention, but honoring the gravity this story carries.

Door after door closed.

This kind of trauma will always make people uncomfortable. And it is uncomfortable. But it’s also very real. It exists in an ugly world. And as a survivor, I’ve always believed it was my responsibility to share it. I just never felt like the time was “right.”

I’m done waiting for permission.

This will be heavy. But that’s the point. What was taken doesn’t stay silent. It echoes.

If not now, when?

This is my truth. And it’s time to say it out loud. My ultimate goal has always been to add to the collective voice, and this is how I begin.

Sometimes things are better left unsaid.
Drill your estates, your beachfront properties, your golf courses.
Leave our sanctuaries alone.
