Meet Joel Slayton of Conway arkansas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Joel Slayton.

Hi Joel, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was invited by a friend to go on a backpacking trip through Buckskin Gulch in Utah. It was fantastic. A truly unforgettable experience. We were there 3 days and 2 nights.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Many struggles to get there. Flights were cancelled. had to rebook flights and rooms. Logistics were a nightmare. had to get with others that were attending the trip to get rides and bum rooms. Ran out of water on the trip.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a full time police officer and I have a podcast that deals with all things traveling over land. I interviewed the founder of Gossamer Gear and as a result I was invited to come on this trip that he puts on every year.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Being outdoors. Freedom, less people and seeing beautiful natural things.
