This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Thinking of hiking the Appalachian Trail? Or maybe just dreaming of escaping into the wilderness? Bill Bryson did more than dream - he attempted the 2,100-mile journey, armed with minimal experience and an equally unprepared (and hilarious) friend.
This audio captures the key takeaways found in the original book, "A Walk in the Woods." Dive into Bryson's laugh-out-loud, frequently inept, yet profoundly insightful adventure along America's most famous footpath. Experience the stunning beauty and unexpected dangers of the trail, from bears and blizzards to questionable shelters and even more questionable hiking companions. Discover the realities of gear, the challenges of endurance, the importance of preparation (and a good partner), and the often-vast gap between romantic notions and trail life.
All fluff and unnecessary information has been removed to save you hours of time. Learn how you can apply the main lessons & principles in a five minute listen. We explore the practical strategies, the physical and mental hurdles, the encounters with nature and fellow hikers, and the quiet moments of discovery.
If you've already read the original, this audio will help you cement the most important lessons. If you haven't, don't worry, here you will find all the practical information that you can apply - insights into perseverance, the human relationship with nature, and what it truly means to undertake an epic journey, even if you don't quite reach the end. Join Bryson and Katz for a trek you won't forget.
