About this listen

The Roamers discuss Cheryl Strayed's book Wild which was adapted into the film of the same name staring Reese Witherspoon. In 1995 Strayed set out on the Pacific Crest Trail to traverse 1,100 miles of the California and Oregon wilderness on foot while escaping the life she left behind. Prior to embarking on her hike Strayed was stricken with suffering and grief after the death of her mother and the abandonment of her family. She began using heroin when her marriage fell apart and needed a dramatic change; that change came in the form of the PCT.
