Ep. 670: The Longest Annual Paddle Race in the World - Greg Wingo

Kristin Knight Pace is one tough person. Not many people would go to Alaska during the winter, completely alone, to take care of a team of sled dogs to get over a recent divorce. However, that's exactly what she did. That toughness has also led her to become one of only 29 women to complete both the Iditarod and the Yukon Question 1000-mile sled dog races.  Kristin is now remarried and has started a new journey, motherhood. She also works as a wilderness planner for Denali National Park and has recently written a book about her experiences, This Much Country. It can be found following the link below or pretty much anywhere else you buy books.  We hope you enjoy listening to this life outside the box!

Originally published August 18, 2016 The Tour Divide is over 2700 miles of self-supported bicycle race along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route stretching between Banff, Alberta, Canada and the US-Mexico border in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. The route was created in 1997 by the Adventure Cycling Association. For 19 years now, bike packers have tackled this route with top riders finishing in just over two weeks while most don’t make it at all. Jim Goodyear is on the show today to fill us in on the experience and mental test that the Tour Divide provides. It's an epic adventure and you should definitely try it!

Today’s Life Outside the Box episode features someone who’s balancing the delicate act of being an epic adventurer and a normal family man. Sean Green uses his precious time off work to climb and bike down the Munros of Scotland, a list of 282 mountain peaks that are scattered across the country. Currently, Sean is approaching the halfway point of the project and it has been nothing short of a true adventure thus far. From terrible weather, broken vehicles, and totally decimated itineraries, there’s something all of us can learn from Sean, you don’t have to be a fulltime adventure athlete to do incredible things. We hope you enjoy this down to earth conversation and we hope you get out there and plan something yourself.

If you've ever done a workout in the wilderness, you know how awesome of an experience it can be. The smells, the sights, the feeling in the air once you get your heart rate going.

Well, Dan and his friend came up with monkii, the simple to use, easy to set up, and awesome workout tool that can go with you to the most remote places on earth. In today's story, we hear about Dan's background, where the idea for monkii bars came from, his crazy PR stunts and very successful Kickstarter campaigns.
