Barney “Scout” Mann is on the podcast to talk about a lifetime of being in the outdoors. His new book, Journeys North, is the tale of his hike from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail.
It’s more than that though… The story includes many of the hikers who crossed his path and of course his wife. Backstories help the reader understand current situations and Scout does a wonderful job at interweaving these into his story.
I have since read the book. Honestly, it reads like a book of fiction even knowing the truth behind it. In the past, I have read plenty of PCT books, but this one stands out as completely capturing the culture of the trail and those who hike it.
Order Journeys North on Amazon, REI or order a copy signed by the author.
