The Long Trail with Papa Bear

Papa Bear (Martin) chats with Lori about hiking Vermont's Long Trail and how his two decades as a Boy Scout volunteer also inspired and facilitated his love of the outdoors and sharing that through both giving back and starting the Papa Bear Hikes podcast. 

With a lifetime of outdoor experiences and over two decades as a Boy Scout Volunteer, Papa Bear has combined his love for the outdoors with his background in online education to create an inspirational and informative podcast with diverse guests sharing a variety of outdoor topics from travel to sports, to outdoor adventures.

Martin is currently working on his book Switching Gears: Rediscovering the meaning of life, love, and happiness while backpacking Vermont’s Long Trail which chronicles his adventures in Vermont hiking the long trail over a two-year period.

Outside of work and outdoor adventuring, Papa Bear and his wife Wendy enjoy local theatre, wineries, visiting museums & art galleries, and spending time with their sons.
