About this listen

Where's the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,000-mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience; and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off-kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing.

Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian Mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous. Much more than an orderly account of mountaintops and meals, this book is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go. It's about screwups and solutions, awe and inspiration.

If you long for the horizon or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step.

I have listened to every hiking book I can get my hands on and this is my favourite. Most long hike books end up turning into a bit of a sleep-hike-eat repeat. Not this one. This book is so entertaining you feel like you are on the trail with him and the various hiking people he meets. I also loved the fast pace of the narration. At first it was a little odd. But then it really grew on me as it retold funny dialogue between the people. I felt like I was really there. Great work. Thanks I really enjoyed this book.

Gary's story of adventure has awoken a deeply buried desire in me to get outdoors, and go for a VERY long walk.

Highly recommended!

Excellent read without needing to skip chapters to get the actual hiking part. If you just want to hear a hiking story without being overwhelmed with a tale of personal development or loss or god then this is for you

Great book about actually hiking
