Welcome to the By Land Podcast. My name is Emory. This is gonna be freaking awesome. Welcome to the Byland Podcast. My name is Emory. This is the introductory episode to my new podcast called the Byland Podcast. This is essentially a spin-off of my website that I've been working on for the last couple of years, www.byand.co. And I started it to help others have a better backcountry experience. I spent a number of years wanting to be outdoors and wanting to have adventure, but when I would go outside and I would go hunting or go backpacking, it just wasn't very fun. I was I was missing a large piece of the puzzle, and I didn't understand why there were people out there that were continually going outside and having these adventures, and I felt like I was missing something. So I took it upon myself to learn about what I was doing wrong and learn about what I should be doing right by investing in gear and all a number of other things. So I started writing about it, and I recently decided, hey, I need to take this up a notch and bring it to a larger platform. I also recently uh finished um 2,000 miles of the Pacific Rest Trail this summer. So the summer of 2017. It was a life-changing experience, and I just want to share what I learned, but not only what I learned, but I want to share what others have learned as well. So what you can expect from this podcast is interviews and discussions and maybe even some uh monologues from me uh briefly about like what I do differently and how I'm successful in the backcountry, and what you can take with you into the backcountry to be successful as well. So if there's an element of the backcountry you're not so sure about, or whether it's uh the wind or the weather or the rain and and the people or the animals or whatever it might be, this podcast is for you to help uh quell those questions and and learn about conservation and backpacking and hunting and a number of other things. So I have a great idea of what I want to do with this podcast, but I can't do it without you. And I'm just excited to talk to you about what I what I'm passionate about and what others are passionate about as well. So thank you so much for tuning in and checking out this podcast. I'm going out on a limb doing this, and I hope you join me. You can find out more about me at www.byand.co, and you can shoot me an email at emory at by land.co.
