Mike Ritterhouse
Season 10 Episode 2
In this episode, we chat about Mike's seasonal experiences in logistics, Baldy lightning strikes, and the happy chaos of running big camps like Cito. Switching gears a bit - we get a sweet update on Mike's kiddos - Aubrey and Will - whom for many of us will remain forever in our minds as wee gate openers, and rowdy backcountry Phil-kids.
Mike arrives with prompt intention, as we sip coffee, and discuss life goals - like how to take a leap into a new career or a new creative outlet. We chat about the role of Backcountry Manger and how for some it's a rewarding challenging fit, for others - a bit of an endeavor.
Mike has published his first novel, The Long Walk Home. Check it out in the link below, pre-order your copy, and get excited.
