Vertical Direction Nature Connection - John Beede Artwork

2 R.O.A.M

R.O.A.M. – Sharing Remarkable Outdoor Adventure Moments is your campfire companion for the weird, wild, and wonderful. Hosted by Bridget and Pete—two nature nerds with a knack for storytelling—we wrangle tales from adventurers who’ve been lost, found, or simply struck speechless by the stars. It’s part comedy, part cautionary tale, part love letter to the outdoors. These stories blur the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary, showing how nature challenges, changes, and connects us. From missteps to miracles, our guests share the kinds of stories you tell when the boots come off and the marshmallows come out. This isn’t just about the wild—it’s about what the wild awakens in us. Come R.O.A.M. with us. Step off the map, and into the story.

In this episode we chat with John Beede who is a world class adventurer and one truely great human. John has climbed the 7 Summits, has written books, is a motivational speaker and currently facilitates men's retreats, yet in this candid conversation punctuated with humility and humour he opens his soul to our audience. It is so beautifully uplifting to hear such an accomplished mountaineer, perhaps an outdoor guru, share stories of natural connection and transcendence in the world, grounded in moments of personal discovery and enlightenment. Yet to have the skills and stamina to summit the Grand Teton (WY) USA in a day with no tent, no pro and one rope suggests that John is indeed a mountaineer of significant standing. But loves to fill his downtime on expeditions gold panning in his underwear !

Intrigued, enjoy the chat
