Post Traumatic Stress (Part 1)

Jester and co-host Austin Wallis are back this week and next week for a two-part series of conversations centered around Post Traumatic Stress. Austin shares with us about his career in the military and his current role of serving in the National Guard and working as a First Responder. Austin defines what PTS is for him, who can suffer from PTS, and begins to share how section hiking, paddling, and being in the outdoors have helped him in his daily life cope with PTS.

Thanks for listening and Happy Section Hiking!
