This was a great listen, but FYI the ebook has extra trail reviews in it. I have a complicated relationship with the outdoors, but this is an inspiring read to help me start to rethink it. I loved all the women sharing their experiences (and I hope the gear companies read this and get cracking on more gear for fat people); the takeaway I got was continue to move in ways that work best for me and everyone is allowed to be in nature.
