Full disclosure, I didn’t know who this guy was until I read this book. Apparently he does a lot of books in the style. However, I did not like this book. I find it riddled with misogyny and judgment. Plus, the last half of the book was boring.  The last 70% or so I felt like it was a slog to get through… And I was listening to the audiobook. I also did not like the book by Sheryl Strayed.

maybe hiking books just aren’t my thing? Regardless, I felt both of them to be self important and just overall ridiculous.

Glad I read his story—and it was narrated by him which is such. Great. It was a bit all over the place though.
