#109 | Exclusive Recording From The 6 Year Anniversary Live Podcast Show feat. Rolland Tizuela (Campthropology), Nikki Taylor (Way Out Wild), RJ Soria (TRVRS Outdoors) - Moderated by Justin Rimon

On this episode, I release the exclusive recording from the show’s fourth live podcast at the Just Trek Pod's 6 Year anniversary celebration at Happier Cafe along the LA River in Frogtown, Los Angeles. I reflect on launching the podcast during the March 2020 pandemic shutdowns to amplify outdoor voices, then moderated a live panel featuring Rolland Tizuela (Camp Anthropology/Camp Homies), Nikki Taylor “Adventure Pea” (Way Out Wild), and RJ Soria (TRVRS Outdoors). The group discusses what sparked their love for the outdoors, how their platforms prioritize education and backcountry safety, balancing risk with pushing limits, and practical preparation including mapping tools, practicing with gear at home, and building inclusive communities. Audience Q&A covers conservation through relationship with public lands, trail work groups, and recommendations for apps, maps, and beginner-friendly ways to start hiking.We'd like to thank our community partners: Happier Cafe, TADAA Coffee, Happier Camper, Parks Project, KEEN, Topo Designs, HEST, HIGHLANDER, JuneShine, Pabst Light, and Parch.Follow our guest panelists on IG: www.instagram.com/campthropology www.instagram.com/adventure_peawww.instagram.com/wayoutwild_ www.instagram.com/trvrsoutdoors Support Just Trek on Patreon www.patreon.com/justtrekShop Just Trek merch on https://www.justtrek.net/shopListen to more podcast episodes on https://www.justtrek.netWant to send me a message?
