Writing and Roadtripping Through Mother Nature with Jedidiah Jenkins

Jedidiah Jenkins is a bestselling author who embraces outdoor adventurer as inspiration for his beautiful and deeply personal work. When he turned 30, Jedidiah quit his job, and set out on a bike ride that took him from the Oregon coast all the way down to Patagonia. When he returned, he wrote his a memoir about his journey called, To Shake the Sleeping Self. In 2021, Jedidiah's wild idea involved a cross-country road trip with his mother, where they examined their mother-son dynamic, their religious and political differences, and their lasting affection for each other despite some of their opposing views. The result, his brand new book, Mother, Nature. Connect with Jedidiah: Website Instagram Order Jedidiah's new book: Mother, Nature Episode sponsors: Shop AllbirdsCheck out REI’s Re/Supply program – members get 10% more on their trade-ins thru 10/31If you enjoyed this episode: Listen to the Camp Monsters podcastShare YOUR wild idea in a 1-minute vote note – submissions due 10/31
