The Life Outside Podcast

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Bastien and Jordan. They met at the start of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2024, and quickly began hiking together. It didn’t take long for a trail romance to blossom, and after finishing their thru-hike and growing closer than ever,  they moved in together and started an ultralight gear company in Canada. We chat about the PCT experience, how their relationship developed over 4,250km of hiking, the process of bootstrapping an ultralight gear company together, and how stepping foot onto their second thru-hike, the Hexatrek, was very different from the PCT. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Madison Blagden. Madison just wrapped up a mind-blowing year of hiking in 2025. She became the first woman to complete the border-to-border Calendar Year Triple Crown. That’s over 10,000 miles of walking on the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide, Appalachian, and Florida Trails, all in under 12 months. Madison shares her journey into thru-hiking, why she decided to spend an entire year walking an average of almost 30 miles per day, and the ins and outs of completing such a logistically complicated and physically demanding challenge. We hope you enjoy!
