Episode description

"I spent five summers working as a tree planter in the rural wilderness of northern British Columbia. It saved my life and almost killed me at the same time. By day, I was doing one of the most physically and emotionally grueling jobs a person can do. Working in the snow, the rain, and the heat, while having scary encounters with bears, wasps, and ATVs, questioning my existence.


And by night, I was sitting by bonfires, taking drugs, having sex, and parting my face off with the greatest community of people I've ever met. "
