By Land Podcast
This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

#65 - Marie Draws The PCT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Marie-Pier Tremblay is a graphic artist/illustrator from Montreal, Canada, who began her hike of the PCT in April 2019. We connected after my wife hired her to illustrate my PCT terminus photo as a birthday present. After receiving the gift and hearing about how awesome she was to speak with, I got on the ol’ gram, shot her an invitation, and here we are!
P.S. This interview occurred before Marie's hike.
You'll love this episode if you’re curious about what a hiker goes through leading up to a long trail!
