    Ep 128- BASE Jumps and Blue Skies (Feat. Landon Maybaum)

    In Episode 128 of the Wilderness Wavelength Podcast, we dive deep into the high-adrenaline world of human flight with avid BASE jumper and skydiver Landon Maybaum. Landon takes us directly to the exit point, sharing gripping stories of what it feels like to step off fixed cliffs, navigate unpredictable air currents, and push the limits of terminal velocity. We explore the hyper-focus required for low-altitude jumps, the evolution of his passion for the skies, and how this intense adventurer transitions from chasing freefalls in the summer to diving for sea cucumbers and urchins in the freezing winter seas. Tune in for a masterclass on risk, gravity, and living life on the edge. Episode Highlights: Stepping Off the Edge: Landon breaks down the mental mechanics and raw thrill of BASE jumping. The Skydiving Foundation: How hundreds of airplane jumps pave the way for extreme fixed-object leaps.
