Mountain Mentality Podcast
There are very few things we can control when it comes to the backcountry, but something we can control is our mentality.
Here we discuss how our mental state affects our decisions in adventure sports and in the mountains. Mental health, grief, addiction, close calls, etc. Everything Mental in the Backcountry.
With your Host, Ethan Helferty. Recorded in Mugshots Cafe in Fernie BC.
