This episode introduces their plan, gear, and the individual skills brought to the production by each of the family members. The beauty about this project is that the family is learning how to do this sort of trip from scratch and the end product will be something that others families can use for similar endeavors.

Beyond Our Boundaries: Episode 10
My heart goes out to Smokin' Bear. My prayer is for his recovery, but if that is not to be, my prayer is for him to complete the AT.

What a journey! Godspeed to you Smokin' Bear. I admire that you are going for it.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Damien, Renee, Celine, Laurent, and Brienne keep truckin'

Even if you haven't been following all the episodes, make it a point to watch the interview starting near the second half of episode 10.
Smokin' Bear, you inspire me, and probably everyone else who is lucky enough to hear your approach to life and reasons for being on the trail.
