Show notes

Ben Vaughan is a seasoned adventurer who, after dedicating 22 years to the US Navy, including five combat deployments, made a life-changing choice to retire and embark on a new path. In 2018, he sold his car and belongings to hike the Appalachian Trail for five months, realizing that a conventional job couldn't quench his thirst for adventure: Over the next couple of years, Ben took on the Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide trail, earning him the status of Triple Crowner. In 2021, he tackled the demanding Hayduke Trail in just seven weeks and was about to embark on the Pacific Northwest Trail when a unique opportunity emerged: being a dog musher in the remote Alaskan wilderness. He’s also an Outdoor Vitals customer.
