EP57: Rob Scanlon—Surviving The Trail

from Explore Magazine's Live The Adventure Podcast Hosted by David Webb

Welcome to episode 57 of Explore's Podcast! It's peak hiking season right now—so we have a special guest today who's going to talk to us all about hiking safety. But don't worry—we'll make it interesting and fun. Today, we are chatting with Dr. Rob Scanlon, author of "Surviving the Trail: Five Essential Skills to Prepare Every Hiker for Adventure's Most Common Perils." Rob's an ICU doctor and an avid hiker. He blended those skills and passions and became an author so he could educate hikers on how to PREVENT injury on the trail, not just respond to it. Framed around real-world case studies and organized in a digestible and newbie-friendly format, this book is an outdoors-person's must have. So, let's find out more about Rob—and really dig into why he wrote this book—so we can all survive the trail this season (and have more fun outdoors).
