#124 - The Story of the Largest Family To Hike the Appalachian Trail with Ben Crawford The By Land Podcast

Ben Crawford first appeared on the podcast for Episode 50, right after he and his family thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2018.  Since then, he’s been working on writing a book about their family story and just recently published it for all to read and enjoy.  I had the pleasure of having Ben on the podcast yet again to talk about the book, the writing process, and the experiences he had putting it together.  
If you’re a family that enjoys the outdoors, or you one day WANT a family that enjoys the outdoors, I’d highly recommend exploring what Ben and his family are up to and how they approach parenting.  And, if you’re wanting to help support an awesome family, go buy the book (links below)!
