    About this Episode

    Jane Fontana and Mark Fitzsimmons share a unique lifestyle by modern standards. They live within the Angeles National Forest where practicing self-sufficiency amidst nature is a rewarding pursuit. Foraging, wood-working, wine-making, and bee-keeping are only some of the tasks that keep them occupied. Jason sat with them beneath the boughs of an acorn tossing tree one evening discussing the realities of forest life, the wonders of mushrooms, their style of backpacking, and stories of rescue and recovery.

    GO 114 - Lincoln Stoller and the Climbing Mind

    Lincoln Stoller was introduced to climbing at the age of thirteen which quickly evolved into mountaineering. Throughout the 70s and 80s he climbed with storied greats such as Fred Beckey. His curious mind lead him to pursuits such as soar plane piloting, diving, exploring foreign cultures, and the studies of physics and psychology. He is the author of several books, a therapist, and a grief counselor for the AAC Climber’s Grief Fund. He and Jason spoke across the internet one morning about his quest to understand humanity and the world, the psychology of climbers, and what he has learned from his clients.

    GO 112 - Justin Pugh is On Rope

    GO 112 - Justin Pugh is On Rope

    Justin Pugh’s childhood outdoor experiences were minimal. This began to change while attending university in Florida where he discovered the secret realm of urban exploration. Urbex was his initial gateway to the outdoors—a doorway that exploded open after moving to California and joining a camping trip in the Mojave desert. Justin is now an outdoor generalist versed in many outdoor pursuits and an adventure filmmaker. He and Jason spoke one night in Altadena’s dark woods about his path to exploration, his current career as a rope access tech, the intricacies involved in filming a documentary in Death Valley, the legend of the venerable Scott Swaney, and how it feels to be busted by police while urban exploring.

Becoming a mother and discovering climbing in Joshua Tree motivated her to pursue an active and fit lifestyle. Yet, fighting cancer and navigating a divorce would test her newfound resilience and dedication. She and Jason spoke one morning in the mountains of Crestline about dieting, exercise, the strength of Club Cancer, the realities of parenting, and the disappointment of the Ricky Schroeder Fan Club.

    GO 109 - Roaming the US With Whistle Pig Eileen Beall

    Eileen always had a strong desire for exploration and adventure, despite an ill-planned childhood excursion. Her curious nature lead her across the United States where she repeatedly encountered unique experiences and opportunities. She and Jason sat in the dark woods one evening as Eileen spun a tale that continued to surprise: from whistle pigs to freight trains to straw homes to biodiesel—and ultimately—to the power of My Little Pony.
