Episode #46 of the Ground Shots Podcast features a conversation between Gabe Crawford and Kelly Moody tuning in around mile 300 of their ‘Plant-a-go’ thru-hike walk on the Colorado Trail this summer.
To listen to their reflections on the first 100 miles of the walk, listen to Episode #43, here.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:
redefining ‘wildness’ and Babylon
the pros and cons of walking and wild-tending
land observations
land readers and books we were reading at that time and how they affected our perspective on the land
what does it mean to have right relations with land?
what does moderate disturbance actually look like?
the struggles that long walks bring up
comparing the characteristics of the east side of the Collegiate Loop to the west side of the Collegiate Loop
the myth of the solitary ‘American man’ and how it is a very dysfunctional myth
