#93 - 3 Close Calls w/ Death & the Uinta Highline Trail

Today I'm interviewed by another podcast called Backpacking and Blisters. I'll be talking about my experiences and close calls with danger in the outdoors, including nearly dying three times. We talk about solo backpacking, mountaineering goals, and encounters with challenging conditions such as bogs and unexpected weather. Other topics include the importance of having and not having trekking poles in critical situations, my preferences for backpacking gear, and his upcoming plans to tackle the Wonderland Trail solo. 00:00 Discovering Chad Lubinski: A Pleasant Surprise 01:14 Chad Lubinski: The Adventure Documentary Filmmaker 01:47 Exploring Chad's Unique Adventure Philosophy 03:11 Solo Backpacking: Freedom and Challenges 04:54 The Highline Trail Solo Adventure 06:25 Unexpected Encounters: Cows and Storms 16:55 Survival Stories: Near-Death Experiences in the Wild 32:25 A Harrowing Climb on Mount Hood 36:15 The Perilous Descent and Reflections 37:00 Mountaineering Insights and Close Calls 40:49 Brainstorming Adventure Documentary Ideas 52:50 Trail Trivia and Wrap-Up --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chad-lubinski6/support
