Fréquence : 1 épisode/18j. Total Éps: 179

An interview-based podcast that explores the world of outdoor recreation, including topics such as backpacking, thru-hiking, hunting, mountaineering, nutrition, conservation, personal development, and more.

Most episodes are conversations with people from different walks of life and outdoor backgrounds, giving me the opportunity to learn from their experiences and perspectives. Other episodes are practical field notes on skills, gear, and lessons learned, while some are deeper reflections on ideas, questions, and observations from my own journey.

This podcast is a record of my time in the outdoors, what I'm learning, and what I continue to learn.

I hope each episode leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged to pursue whatever adventure you're dreaming of.

-Emory, By Land

P.S. I hope you come back and tell me all about your adventure.

#178 Rethinking How We Share Adventures with Nina Banducci of Polarsteps

Épisode 178

lundi 18 mai 2026 • Durée 01:26:55

Text the show!

Nina Banducci from Polarsteps joins the podcast to talk about something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately; how we document our lives and why social media doesn’t always feel like the right way to do it.

We discuss the trending shift away from performative platforms like Instagram and why more people are craving something more personal and meaningful when it comes to capturing their life experiences. Nina shares her background as an outdoor guide and how that led her to Polarsteps, a travel app built around memory, not attention.

We also dive into the thru-hiking culture on the Appalachian Trail, what makes that community so unique, and why experiences like that strip you down to who you really are.

Throughout the episode, we talk about travel, discomfort, growth, and why the best moments aren’t always the ones you post. If you’ve ever questioned why you’re sharing your adventures, or who you’re sharing them for, this episode is right up your ally.

Key Takeaways:

Social media has shifted from connection to performance, changing how we experience travel
Real adventure includes discomfort, mistakes, and unpredictability, not just highlight moments
Tools like Polarsteps are emerging to prioritize personal memory over public validation
Thru-hiking culture creates a rare environment of equality, authenticity, and community
Growth happens when you step into the unknown, not when everything goes perfectly

Chapters/Show Notes:

Introduction to Polarsteps
Nina’s Background: From Idaho to Outdoor Guiding and Travel
The River Community and Earning Your Place Outdoors
The Problem with Social Media and Performative Sharing
What Polarsteps Is and Why It Exists
Travel as a Tool for Growth and Discomfort
The Reality of Thru-Hiking and Trail Culture
Appalachian Trail Community and Hostel Life
Why Brands Must Earn Trust in the Outdoor Space
How Polarsteps Is Entering the U.S. Market
The Future of Travel, Memory, and Storytelling

#177 Turning Setbacks Into Summits with Tia Banks

Épisode 177

jeudi 8 mai 2025 • Durée 01:04:52

Text the show!

In this episode, I sit down with Tia Banks, a former professional athlete turned mountaineer, resilience expert, and motivational speaker. Tia’s journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and mental toughness, and in our conversation, she shares how learning to manage setbacks helped her transition into a new passion.

From growing up in Nebraska to inspiring thousands through her speaking tour, her story is proof that adversity can be a stepping stone to something greater. Tia explains that a "setback is the setup."

Key Takeaways:

The power of self-talk – What we tell ourselves matters in the hardest moments.
Resilience is built, not given – Hardship creates opportunities for personal growth.
The outdoors is transformative – Mountains provide a unique space for reflection and challenge.
Community is essential – Finding support in the hardest moments can make all the difference.

#76 - Pack No Fears with Frans Diepstraten

Épisode 76

lundi 6 mai 2019 • Durée 59:04

Text the show!

Frans emailed me detailing his experience on a trail run in the mountains. In years past, he would have brought a mountain of gear “just in case,” but this time, he packed only what he needed to move more quickly and cover more ground. From this experience, Frans began to realize the difference between too much gear and too little.

In this episode, we discuss what can be achieved by bringing only the essentials and Frans’ journey in backpacking.

Lot’s of great stuff to think about in this one!

Carrot Quinn is a long-distance hiker, blogger, and author of the book “Thru-Hiking Will Break Your Heart,” a memoir of her time on the Pacific Crest Trail.

We discuss her journey in long-distance hiking, why she decided to write a book about it, what that was like, and what backpacking means to her after all these years and experiences. Additionally, Carrot shares with me some things that might be difficult for some to hear and understand, but this is what I love about this podcast and connecting with people who share a similar passion for the outdoors. Because of backpacking, I had the opportunity to connect with someone about things I wasn’t aware of. Now it’s on me to investigate these topics further for my knowledge and awareness.
