Disillusioned by the corporate lifestyle, David finds himself unemployed and desperate for change. Bradley, his older, more adventurous, and slightly-wreckless college fraternity brother presents an enticing offer. Just a few weeks later, the two inexperienced hopefuls abandon society and plunge into a soul-searching sojourn to thru-hike the Pacific Crest trail, a 2,650-mile Mexico-to-Canada footpath - barefoot. At the trail’s mercy from day one, the two hikers face the endless pains of walking, rising tensions, and falling behind to the coming winter.
The Trail Provides is a thru-hiking memoir filled with stories about companionship, lessons learned, dreams and reality, and leaving everything behind for the desire of transformation, insight, and self-discovery. Now, let’s begin the journey....

David’s honest recollection of the highs and lows of his time on the trail was truly captivating. Hearing him describe the evolution of his own thinking, handling of trail life and relationships along the miles was excellent.
From a literary perspective, there was just enough “conversation” included without too much “he said, she said” to detract from the story. This was much appreciated and allowed each vignette to flow.
I personally found I needed to listen at 1.25 speed, but tested first... I am happy to say that didn’t change the sound or character of David’s voice much at all. Sometimes that isn’t the case.
I feel like a personal friend of David’s now! Well done!
