By Land Podcast
An interview-based podcast that explores the world of outdoor recreation, including topics such as backpacking, thru-hiking, hunting, mountaineering, nutrition, conservation, personal development, and more.
Most episodes are conversations with people from different walks of life and outdoor backgrounds, giving me the opportunity to learn from their experiences and perspectives. Other episodes are practical field notes on skills, gear, and lessons learned, while some are deeper reflections on ideas, questions, and observations from my own journey.
This podcast is a record of my time in the outdoors, what I'm learning, and what I continue to learn.
I hope each episode leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged to pursue whatever adventure you're dreaming of.

#147 - The Quest: Nepal and the Summit of Everest with Alex Harz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Alex Harz is a man of many talents. He’s a filmmaker, mountaineer, and even a radio host, but for the purpose of this episode we’re diving into his Mount Everest Expedition and the film he’s produced about it called “The Quest: Nepal.”
Alex might be the physical vehicle for the telling of a story or the driving force behind it, but when you watch this film, you’ll learn quickly that while he does have a personal reason for being there and climbing, he also knows that without the culture and its people, there would be no climb in the first place.
I absolutely loved getting to know Alex and picking his brain about this project he’s in the middle of because he was willing to tell his version of the story in a raw and honest way. Sure it’s Everest and it’s obviously epic in its own right, but there’s so much more to it than that, which is what we get into in this episode of the podcast.
Please go watch and support Alex’s film and what he’s doing!
