We know that queer folks are getting outdoors in various ways, but there isn’t much out there that talks about how and why they get outdoors. Recognizing this gap, Expanding the Outdoors seeks to amplify LGTBQIA2+ voices in all things outdoors. During each session, we chat with different people to understand how they like to spend time outside, what barriers they face accessing the outdoors, times they have thrived, times they have faced oppression, and much more. We are dedicated to showcasing folks all across the outdoor spectrum to help pull the definition of an outdoorsy person away from its stereotype of a white, cis/het, hyper-masculine male. This podcast also takes an intersectional approach, as we recognize that folks hold multiple identities. It is important to make space and talk about how those identities impact their relationship with the great outdoors. Want to share your story?

A podcast about adventurers, sort of, kind of? It’s about the adventures small, and big and everything in between from people who maybe don’t follow that traditional lifestyle.
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to do a long thru-hike? Or what it might be like planning for such a trip? And are you starting to feel maybe just a little overwhelmed by everything that’s out there?
Well, don’t worry because in this episode, Episode 9 of We the Wild Ones, I had the chance to talk with just the person to put your fears at ease. Chris Denu, aka The Bold Nomad, has done a lot of hiking. And I’m not just talking day hikes here. Chris is from Vermont, like me, and has since moved out west to bigger mountains. He quit his job in 2016 and has been living nomadically since. Some of his big adventures include hiking the Continental Divide Trail in 2017, trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, hitting 44 of the 50 state high points, and a lot of international travel.
It took us a few weeks, months, to finally catch up, a bit tricky since we are both living on the road and cell service can be a little spotty sometimes. But we finally made it happen!
Notable Points

Questions:
What’s one non-essential item you can’t live without?
– Cell phone, although cell phones seem more essential now, Ipad for watching Netflix. Coffee.
If you could have one useless superpower, what would it be?
– Instant recovery, could do a big day and then another big day without feeling the effects. Then I could just keep going day after day.
What’s your best tip for living an adventurous life?
– Just say yes. Say yes to opportunities, figure out how to pay for things later, commit to it and figure out the details later.
