Episode Summary: In this episode we talk through our first hiking-related book review of Glen Van Peski's work, take less. do more. SURPRISING LIFE LESSONS IN GENEROSITY, GRATITUDE, AND CURIOSITY FROM AN ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKER.

For almost 2 hours, we were lucky enough to have Glen on our show to cover a few of his anecdotes from the ultralight backpacking universe, but also some more introspective insights on life, having gratitude and giving to others, while also prioritizing the needs of our loved ones and ourselves. Glen has quite the tale to tell, including how to better stay connected to those you've met/think about often, his stunning wife, living a minimalist lifestyle, and his harrowing friend that saved Glen's life. We'd love to have him back for a part 2 to cover more of his ultralight hacks, but until then, here's enough content to wet your whistle.

Keywords: ultralight, backpacking, minimalism, book, book review
