A man walked into the woods, destined to spend eight months living in the wild. Exhausted and emotionally ruined living the fast-paced life of a successful young professional, it was all too easy to give up. The challenges came on the adventure of a lifetime. Months in the woods that would provide adversity, healing, and tranquility. Setting out to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Continental Divide Trail in a single calendar year was an audacious goal but the 8,000 mile Calendar Year Triple Crown would be the story of a lifetime.

The journey was riddled with inclement weather, shady characters, wildlife attacks, and injuries. The trails crossed frozen rivers, were rerouted around wildfires, and packed with snow. The physical challenge was soon overshadowed by the mental toughness required. It became a mental battle.

Free Outside is a captivating story of strength and courage. Hiking through remote areas in America, Jeff is continually overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of strangers. Free Outside is the fascinating story of Jeff Garmire’s journey along the national scenic trails that define wild America.

Narrated by the author: Jeff Garmire. Enjoy this story of hiking 8,000 miles along the triple crown trails of America.

His accomplishment is incredible. It was really hard to literally listen to both his story and descriptions of terrain. The narration was garbled .. each sentence running into another to where one doesn’t really hear any of it...
I would love to hear this book again read by someone else..

Great story...hard listen.

Jeff should have gone with a narrator. Seems he reads with zero inflection as one sentence bleeds with the next. He just reads, like he just hikes and hikes, despite the incredible obstacles and distance. I made it to the end and felt a little like I too had to persist, as opposed to being carried along with his remarkable journey. Also found myself wondering why he did not talk a bit more about the "purpose" of his hike ... depression. No doubt a good and very worthy cause ... that I should learn more about. Very nice job Jeff. Quite the accomplishment.

I enjoyed listening to Jeff being the narrator and stud hiker. At times the story felt rushed but the pace needed to match this enormous accomplishment. Jeff's story fueled my desire for thru hiking. Thanks for letting me ride along the journey.

Awesome Accomplishment

I love this book and have listened to audio version 3x. The challenge of the trail Triple Crown in a calender year is an amazing feat, and I often wondered if what you give towards it is equal to what you get. This book answers that question for me. Enjoyable and inspiring read!
