Divided

A Walk on the Continental Divide Trail

De: Brian Cornell

Narrado por: Zac Katz-Stein

Once a person hikes a long trail, they catch the bug, but does it get any easier the second time around? Four years after starting the Appalachian Trail with his brother, Brian takes to the Continental Divide Trail for his second thru-hike in familiar company. However, trail life is not always as rewarding and romantic as the pictures you see or second-hand stories you hear.

Divided provides an accurate account of life on trail: what hikers ponder, eat, love, loathe, and the questions they tire of answering. Some moments are too short, some are painfully long, while others are whisked away unceremoniously with the wind. Follow along on the journey as Brian navigates difficulties, successes, and everything between while attempting to walk from Mexico to Canada.

Great Real Life story - Well Done Narration

I really enjoyed hearing Brian Cornell’s experiences hiking the CDT. I found it very inspirational and motivating. The narrator did a fantastic job as well.
If you enjoy the outdoors and more permitive rustic camping you will enjoy this book

Good mental prep for your own thru-hike

I’m listening to other’s hiking stories in preparation for my own hike on the JMT. The author’s descriptions of his mental state were helpful to my understanding of what to expect. I admire his determination to do this trip alone and am thankful that he wrote this book.

I appreciate the honesty and imperfections

This book was really good. It’s just your typical through hiker book but this is one that magnifies the lows and challenges of the trail.

his honesty

at no point did I feel like there was anything I did not enjoy

If you love, Hiking, you will love this book.

Terrific story, I loved the whole thing. I didn't want it to end just as the author that wrote the story and hiked the hike. The author is excellent with his quick wit and great descriptions. it felt like I was part of his journey. I would read this again at a later time, And recommend it to anyone that loves the CDT and Hiking. JS

A worthwhile read

A lot of helpful insights into what it’s like to do a super long hike. I was hoping for more descriptions of the terrain, flora and fauna, and more detail on essential survival equipment. I wanted less preaching about how a long hike compares to other people’s life choices which the author saw as less important and less brave than his own.

Pretty good-inspirational

Trail diary is real inspirational and good. Descriptions of flora n fauna terrific. Observations on mankind naive and shallow. But in the end a good read of trail life on the CDT.

A bit tiresome.

He went on and on and on. Tell us about the trail. Not every single thought that went through your head.

Arrogant pontificating or trail story

This is not a story of the CDT. It's an anti social guy smoking weed, venting and philosiphizing

Excellent story

Superb man, just a great read with the perfect blend of story telling and life philosophy. Hoping you hike the PCT for your triple crown and we are lucky enough to read about it :)
