E82 | Hiking 8000 Miles For Nature | A Walk For The Wild with Wesley "Megaman" Tils | An Environmental Corner Episode

Wesley "Megaman" Tils plans to spend approximately 1.5 years through an entire winter season...hiking for nature, for conservation, for the wild. The trek will run some 8,000 miles from the easternmost to westernmost points of the contiguous United States, along a path that he designed himself. The reason for using his entire savings and pushing his body to its limits- to raise awareness (and funds) for the conservation entities that protect our wild spaces, and to bring others [in spirit] into the backcountry with him. Megaman feels that such an undertaking is more important now than ever as the current administration threatens environmental and conservation regulations which protect our public lands, federal lands, and all the life that calls those places home. What's more, even Megaman's dream job in archaeology is at risk through weakening of the Antiquities Act.Chasing the legacy of his ancestor, a vagrant viking who sawed off his own leg due to frostbite, Megaman has a resume of long-distance trails that leaves little room for concern that he will be able to complete this journey.Listen in to hear the what, how, and why of Megaman's plan to "Walk for the Wild".To find Megaman:Megaman's FacebookMegaman's TikTokMegaman's InstagramMegaman's YouTubeMegaman's GoFundMeKeywords: #conservation #nature #walking #hiking #loveofnature  ~Created, hosted, and produced by Yeti Legs and Basecamp (aka Wesley and Marie Black) ~Edited by Yeti legs ~Intro and Outro track is Appalachian trail by “The Fire Once Lost”, an American/Bluegrass artist from Denmark.  Check out the⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠album⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and their⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   Yeti Legs’ and Basecamp’s Socials: Podcast IG:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yetiwalksintobasecamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theginger_and_thejoy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our [FREE] Patreon:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Yeti Walks Into Basecamp Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Linktree:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thegingerandthejoy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
