Backcountry Hygiene is always our #1 requested topic... and one that many women are uncomfortable talking about or evening asking questions..

During this episode we will cover all tips and tricks on how to stay clean while in the wilderness - from your head to your feet, and everything in-between from experienced WILD women Sanna Moravek, Jen Lamb and Brooke Jackson.

In this episode you will meet Charlotte Gallagher, and hear about the experiences she had on her first few W.I.L.D. trips - (including catching her stove on fire).

Charlotte's first W.I.L.D. trip was to Cloudland Canyon Sate Park, which is nestled in the northwestern corner of Georgia and is know for its beautiful waterfalls (and lots of steps - 600 to be exact!) This first trip was filled with an overload of experiences - with the W.I.L.D. bus breaking down on the way there and all the rain!

On Charlotte's second W.I.L.D. trip, the destination was Cumberland Island National Seashore - a breathtaking barrier island off the coast of South Georgia. During this trip we had a water-purification snafu and her cookstove catching fire. We also talk about the book Untamed, and how one woman has helped to keep Cumberland wild.

These first few trips and clinics that Charlotte attended helped her prepare for her great adventure, of biking solo across the United States. (This journey will be shared on following episodes).

Women's Initiative for Learning and Discovery is a 501c3 non-profit organization, but it wasn't always that way. Learn how W.I.L.D. got started, the early days when we were just a tiny group of girls hanging out our local outfitter.  Laugh  at our very first trips and cringe all the things that went wrong in those early days, but most importantly understand our journey to where we are today, and what sets W.I.L.D. apart from other outdoor organizations.

Hosted by Founder and Executive Director Sanna Moravek, with guest and current Board President and Guide, Jen Lamb.
