Courtney has had an on-again/off-again relationship with mountains, hiking, and primitive camping, starting in Alaska in her early life. She also often hiked and “car camped” in the high desert and Sierra Nevadas in California growing up. After living almost 20 years at Sea Level, the mountains were calling again. After “accidentally” stepping onto the Appalachian Trail in Georgia in 2020, the affair was back on! Now Courtney, aka “Unfiltered,” has created a podcast to indulge in research on her deep love affair with the wilderness, and to help others understand they can fall in love with it too. She talks to guests from various backgrounds and levels of hiking experience in an effort to pick their brains about how to get out and enjoy the outdoors “responsibly.” In today's story, she recalls a local hike in Florida, when she came into extremely close contact with a particular gator.
