On today’s episode, we sit down to chat with Levi Pendleton. Levi, a previous whitewater rafting guide in the Grand Canyon, Moab and Jackson Hole, ski patroller in New Zealand and now an overall outdoor enthusiast who currently works at Southern Utah University as the coordinator of SUU Outdoors. We spend time talking about some of his ultimate adventure stories that come from being a member of a Rescue Team in Denali National Park in Alaska. We focus in on understanding what it takes to climb a brutal mountain like Denali (also known as Mount McKinley) the highest peak in North America. We also talk about the shift from a seasonal employee lifestyle where one can “entertain their own passions and hobbies” into a job that requires more administrative tasks in order to get others outdoors.

| 27 Dec 2022 | EP 120 - Hallucinations, Failures, and setting the John Muir FKT: Aurelien Sanchez Interview | 00:58:39 | |
Aurelien Sanchez is a French runner and backpacker who holds the record for the self-supported fastest-known time record for the south-to-north route on the John Muir Trail. In fact, he held the record for the John Miur self-supported OVERALL from 2018 until August 2022. His attempt took 3 days 3 hours 55 minutes and 10 seconds and was the last of three attempts to FKT the John Muir Trail. Although it is in French, you can see him document his adventures on his YouTube channel. Given the language gap, Aurelien is a bit of an enigma online, so it'll be interesting to get to know who he is, where he comes from, and what makes him tick.

***
Product Description: Some people have a different kind of drive - the drive for high intensity, fast speeds, & lots of miles. These people go further & see more. Even if they have a day job, they don’t let that stop them from using their limited time to see the sights & accomplish their goals. They choose to embrace challenges, & they like it! The Skyline Fastpack was designed for them. It's the perfect pack for trail running, cross-country skiing, day hiking, backpacking (especially for those dialed-in ultralighters), trail running, & of course - fastpacking. Fastpacking is ultralight backpacking but fast. You’ve got to be able to move quickly while carrying everything you need for camping overnight in the backcountry. Your pack has to be able to handle all-day, on-the-move use while staying comfortable & giving you easy access to hydration and fuel. Understandably, it also has to be small & light so it doesn’t weigh you down. A fastpack MUST be stable while you run. The Skyline Fastpack is versatile, comfortable, & built so that you can easily access what you need when you need it without removing your pack! It uses a shoulder harness suspension system that evenly distributes your pack weight & doesn’t allow your water flasks to bounce around uncomfortably. Versatile pockets allow you to stash snacks, gear, or whatever else you need without fear of them falling out as you move. This shoulder harness suspension system hugs your body while still allowing you full range of motion for all-day comfort. Challenge Ultra stretch mesh is used for the back, side, & bottom pockets & it is both LIGHT & DURABLE. It’s hard to cut it even with scissors! It stretches & allows you to easily stuff your gear where you want, but weighs next to nothing. This is some of the toughest and lightest mesh in the industry! The unique bottom pocket has 2 parts: a pass-through sleeve & a zippered mesh compartment. Stash your phone, gloves, maps, or anything else right where it’s easily accessible and safe. Every feature is intentionally designed, from the foam back panel that melds with your body to the versatile pocketing on the harness system that will keep your gear exactly where you want it when you need it. Don’t let long distances & limited timelines keep you from experiencing the wild places you crave. The Skyline Fastpack can help you satisfy that hunger. | |||

Get yours: https://bit.ly/3yYIRO8 *** Oblivion Description: Getting good sleep on the trail isn’t a “bonus” in the backcountry. It’s absolutely necessary for your mind to be alert and for you to be fully present during your adventures, and a comfortable sleeping pad is one of the most important items to help you get the rest you need. The Oblivion Sleeping Pad is a more comfortable 3 season pad that will help you sleep better in the outdoors without carrying extra weight! The 3-inch thick tufted I-beam cushion construction will keep your shoulders and hips off the ground whether you’re a side sleeper or if you sleep on your back. So what about insulation? Multi-layer reflective insulation gives the pad an R-Value of 3.5 (ASTM R-value Standard) - perfect for 3 season adventures! But we didn’t stop there. We’ve added a reflective top fabric to help you retain as much of your own body heat as possible! What this means is that you get a sleeping pad that’s warmer, more comfortable, & lightweight! You can sleep better in the backcountry without having to carry extra pounds with you! | |||

On this episode of the Live Ultralight Podcast, Tayson sits down to talk with Paul Ferraro to discuss his many long, long walks to raise money for Navy Seals: After a successful 30-year career in the tech industry, Paul Ferraro retired in 2014 and set his sights on walking across the United States from Virginia to California to raise money for the Navy SEAL Foundation. This 3,121-mile effort earned him recognition from both CNN and Fox News, along with many other local news outlets as he worked to complete the journey in 2015. In addition to the Walk Across America, he’s made a trek from Ireland to Rome (2000 miles), walked the Camino de Santiago from France to Santiago, Spain (500 miles), and claims the most challenging walk of his life was from Miami to Key West (140 miles in 3 days). We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation.

Aurélien Sanchez is a French runner and backpacker who has taken the running world by storm with his impressive achievements. Just a few months ago we had him on to talk about his record-setting self-supported FKT on the John Muir Trail. But, a couple of weeks ago, imagine our surprise when we got the news that Aurélien had just crossed the finish line in first place ahead of only two other finishers at the 2023 Barkley Marathons, widely considered one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, if not THE toughest Marathon in the world. He completed the 100-mile race in a time of 58 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds, cementing his status as one of the top ultrarunners in the world.
