  • Wanting more!!

    My wife and I started listening to your podcast this past year. We have found ourselves wanting to do more in the Adirondacks. We start out as novice hikers, and realize that during our journey to complete the Adirondack fire tower challenge we wanted to do more. My wife and I started with Cascade and Porter and became aspiring ADK 46 ers. We are both not the most physically fit people in the world. With the help of Jame’s Seek to More Program, I feel that now I can conquer some of the hardest ... more

  • Best episode yet

    My wife and I have been listening to your podcast for the past few years now and we love it. However the cast about your ADK buck is my favorite thus far.

    I love listening and identifying with the various hikes, but every emotion and thought that you conveyed in the hunting roadside was one that I’ve felt more than once. Smiles, eye rolls, excitement, and thumping heart right along with you.

    Again thanks for doing a great cast. Keep on killing it!

  • Excellent pod! 5 Stars!

    Your enthusiasm for the Adirondacks is amazing! Latest episode with Wes was really fun to listen to. As an Iowa deer hunter we have great hunting and the “Dream” hunts are always out west, but after listening to you and Wes talking about deer hunting in the Adirondacks makes that a dream hunt for me! I will definitely share this episode with fellow hunters as it was just really fun to listen to!!! Keep up the great podcast and thanks for sharing!!!

    From Will’s Mom….. Not so much a review as a thanks! Thanks for recognizing Will’s 115 accomplishment! The interview was great. Lots of questions. Lots of answers. Lots of details. I hope he inspires just one person to pursue their hiking dreams. As I tell Will, it’s the baby steps, it’s the now, it’s the dream, it’s your adventure. So, thank you!
