Robert Harris (JR) has been exploring and backpacking long distance for more than 60 years in some of the most remote and inhospitable wilderness areas in the world, unsupported and mostly alone, and he has written numerous articles about his experiences, as well as a book entitled, “Way Out There: Adventures of a Wilderness Trekker.” 

How did a kid from the concrete jungle of New York City fall in love with the great outdoors? What role did going to Boy Scout camp play in his love of adventure? How does he encourage younger generations of city dwellers to explore the wilderness? Listen in to hear the answers to these questions and learn why it is so important to stay curious in life.
