David on Earth
Travel & Events
My name is David and I've created this channel to offer a perspective on active outdoor lifestyles for people on the downside of mid-life. You'll notice that I love the outdoors - hiking and backpacking primarily - but, really, just getting outside and being active. Here's the short-form story: After years of day and weekend hikes, in 2018 I quit my job to do my first thru-hike - the 500-mile Colorado Trail. Since then I wrote a book about it (Purpose on the Colorado Trail) and temporarily went back to work. Soon I'll hang up the 9-5 thing for a more intentional pursuit of encouraging others to stay healthy and happy, living on purpose - spending more time living in full! Some things you can expect by subscribing to this channel are adventure documentaries, gear reviews, tips on living well, and anything to do with healthy living for people "my age". My aim is to encourage and inspire a life outside of the daily grind. Come along! David
