    187.) Adirondack Pioneers: Noah John Rondeau the Hermit of the Adirondacks

    Deep in the Adirondack wilderness, beyond the reach of roads and civilization, lived a man who became a legend—Noah John Rondeau, the Hermit of Cold River. For nearly 40 years, he lived completely off the land, building his own village, decoding his thoughts in mysterious journals, and welcoming the occasional visitor to his remote paradise.But what drove Rondeau to leave society behind? How did he survive in one of the most rugged parts of the Adirondacks? And how did he go from a true recluse to an Adirondack icon? In this episode, we take you deep into the life of Noah John Rondeau, exploring: ✅ His life in the Cold River wilderness—how he built shelters, hunted, fished, and thrived alone ✅ His unexpected rise to fame, despite choosing to live in solitude ✅ The mystery of his coded journals and what they reveal about his life ✅ How a powerful storm forced him from his home and changed his life forever Noah John Rondeau wasn’t just a man who lived in the woods—he was a symbol of self-reliance, freedom, and the deep connection between humans and nature. His story is one of adventure, resilience, and mystery. So grab a seat by the fire, and let’s journey back in time to meet the last true Adirondack hermit. Get my books: 1.)

    185.) Adirondack Pioneers: "Adirondack Murray"

    This week I'm back with an Adirondacks Pioneer episode about the one and only, William H.H. Murray, better known as Adirondack Murray.   Adirondack Murray played a massive role in shaping the Adirondacks as we know them today. His 1869 book, Adventures in the Wilderness, inspired a wave of tourism, introducing city dwellers to the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. But his influence wasn’t without controversy—many who followed his words were unprepared for the harsh realities of the wild, earning them the nickname "Murray’s Fools." In this episode, we dive into: ✅ Murray’s role in popularizing the Adirondacks ✅ The tourism boom and backlash of the 1870s ✅ How his legacy still impacts outdoor culture today Join the next GREAT RANGE ATHLETE 6 week challenge and get in mountain-hiking shape in just 6 weeks from your local gym or your house.  Learn more about the Great Range Athlete Team Program HERE Order my new book "The Adirondack 46 in 18 Hikes: The Complete Guide to the High Peaks" HERE Looking for help improving your fitness and resilience for hiking so you can become the strongest version of yourself on and off the trail?
