- Society & Culture
Derick is an author from New York City based in North Carolina. His debut novel, The Unlikely Through Hiker, is the story of how he went from a city dweller in NYC to the grueling months long Appalachian Trail through hike, despite never having camped a night in his life. The book is a humorous account of Derick’s through hike, from his struggle to stay bathed and fresh to his NYC standards, to the beauty, danger and pure adventure of the wilderness. The people he meets along the way are central characters, but really it's the story of one man accomplishing a crazy goal that he was entirely unprepared for, which ended up changing his life forever.
Tune in to listen to us discuss Derick's epic hike, his book, how race and racism play into the world of the outdoors, and so much more!
