Story
Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language.

Just before her 40th birthday, Gail Francis quit her perfectly good job and set out to hike one of the great trails of the world. Carrying everything she needed on her back, Francis spent five months walking from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. Along the way, she lost her pack scrambling over scree in the desert, struggled to navigate high mountain passes, and wore the soles off her boots trekking across lava fields - all within some of the most pristine wilderness in the nation. Though she set out alone, her story includes an eclectic cast of characters.

Story
Anna was never anything like those "real" runners on telly, but when she read about New Zealand’s 3,000-kilometer-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder...perhaps being a "real" runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway? The Pants of Perspective is a witty, colorful, and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. It is a coming-of-age story that will lead you on a roller-coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage, and failure.

I’d never done anything crazy like this before–a pilgrimage walk. I was not a hiker, and I wasn’t a Catholic. In fact, I wasn’t even sure I was a Christian. On the last government census when I had to state my religion, I'd said I was a Buddhist, mainly because they’ve had such a hard time in Tibet I felt they needed my statistical support.

He wasn’t chasing fame or public recognition. He just wanted to test his limits and raise a million dollars for homelessness in the process.

During a culture-shocked exchange year in Japan, 15-year-old Lisa Dempster's imagination is ignited by the story of the henro michi, an arduous 1,200-kilometre Buddhist pilgrimage through the mountains of Japan. Perfectly suiting the romantic view of herself as a dusty, travel-worn explorer (well, one day), she promises to return to Japan and walk the henro michi, one way or another, as soon as humanely possible. Fast-forward 13 years, and Lisa's life is vastly different to what she pictured it would be.

After a childhood marked by neglect, poverty, and periods of homelessness, with a mother who believed herself to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, Carrot Quinn moved out on her own. She found a sense of belonging among straight-edge anarchists who taught her how to traverse the country by freight trains, sleep in fields under the stars, and feed herself by foraging in dumpsters. Her new life was one of thrilling adventure and freedom, but still she was haunted by the ghosts of her lonely and traumatic childhood.

Beautiful, fun, and heartbreaking

Publisher's Summary
"Gail writes with humour, heart and passion." (Giovanna Fletcher, Sunday Times number one best-selling author)
Includes exclusive audio commentary from Gail straight from her trail experience
Gail Muller was told she’d be in a wheelchair by the age of 40. At 41, she set out to hike one of the world’s toughest treks: the Appalachian Trail - a 2,200-mile journey that would help her reclaim her life and heal her mind and body. An inspiring, moving, and uplifting memoir for fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love.
As Gail took her first steps through the wilderness of the USA, she had no idea what lay ahead of her, but she knew she felt burnout from city life, lost and broken - ready to heal a mind and body that she had battled with for so long.
From the resilience-building mountain climbs, painful injuries, and harsh reality of braving the raw elements, to the unexpected friendships forged with other hikers and the kindness of strangers offering food and shelter - with every step, Gail started to let go of a past dominated by chronic pain and reconnected with herself in a way she’d never been able to before.
A love letter to the healing power of the wild outdoors and an incredible testament to the strength of the human spirit, Gail’s story is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in a rut, lost, or scared. She shows us that even in our darkest times, it’s possible to find our inner grit, face our fears, and feel hopeful.

I couldn't stop listening to this fantastic book. Gail's beautiful writing, woven with her humour, openness, and the range of electic characters she meets along the way, kept me completely engaged until the very end. Her narration is great, and I enjoyed the addition of some audio she recorded whilst on the trail. I highly recommend this book!

I am no hiker but I am a passionate lover of language, of nature, of experiences outside of my own, and of badass women. This story was an adventure for the spirit, mind and soul; an absolute pleasure-read which taught me so much about endurance, self-love and the power of belief. Articulate and erudite this listening experience was an utter pleasure :)

Unlost?! more like "F me up (but in a good way)"
Holy F.
All Hail Gail.
The literary badass.
I've never read something so achingly soulful in such a disgustingly beautiful way.
Thank god for your book and what an incredible storyteller you are.
I listened to it on audible on the hike from hell. It was a section of the Australian Alps Walking Track (Benambra section). It was deep bush bashing through a swamp, shoulder-high blackberries and inconspicuous wombat holes. I cried. Alot. Often. Without warning.
I can't even put into words the level of healing that book has had on me. As I was clambering over fire-damaged trees I sobbed my way through Chapter 10. Your words gave me such an intimate 'you too as well' hug. Snot faced and teetering between traumatic flashback "Memories of heavy hands on me in the dark" ...and pissing myself laughing at your electric diction. I was always on the edge of my seat/summit to see where you were headed next. Back and forth you balanced emotion and humour in such a delicate and meaningful way.
I finally understand. The mind is the body and the body is the mind. One cannot be healthy without the other. They are one.
"This stirred in me the memory before the fear. I knew going through the process of getting my courage would bring physical pain with it too. My mental trauma always loved some physical company."
Your book has helped me immensely.
It's shown me that powerful women with traumatic incidents build formidable foundations and do find ways to move forward to enjoy life in the most unimaginably beautiful ways. Thank you for being my trailblazer.
...I wrote and wrote and wrote your quotes all day and just trudged on.
"I was going to struggle but I was going to f-ing do it anyway"
But my god. I screeched every time I heard about F-shot... sorry I meant Buckshot. It echoed through the valleys. I always screeched:
With laughter
With 'f-ing dickhead'
With 'yep been there done that'
With 'Holy f- I wish someone ate him for breakfast'
To be frank, I genuinely think listening to you on audible was the REAL cherry on top. No one outdoes a cornish gal attempting a thick American accent hahaha. 11/10 quality listening.
So Thank You Very Much For Writing That. What a pleasure it was. So... when is the next one coming out?
Thanks again and love your work.
P.S. We should play a drinking game with your audible "take a shot every time Gail says 'F-'". I think we would be dead, but at least we'd die laughing.
Cheers (and hope to see you on trail one day)!
