“Never Turn Down Free Calories” — Now Available!
In 2022, our dear friends Sammy and Alex Cooper set out on an incredible journey to hike the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT)—2,650 miles from Canada to Mexico. Sammy has since captured their experience in a beautifully written book titled “Never Turn Down Free Calories”, that is now available for purchase, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
Their adventure came full circle for us when we met them at the southern terminus of the PCT at the Mexican border to celebrate their finish just as we were wrapping up our own journey driving to the Arctic Ocean and back.
Over the course of 2024, we had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Sammy on her book project. Brian worked closely with Sammy to create all of the map illustrations throughout the book, as well as the art for the cover and back of the book while Christina provided some editing and peer review feedback. We are both so honored to have been a part of bringing Sammy’s story to life!
If you’ve ever thought about embarking on a thru-hike (or simply love a good adventure tale), we highly recommend checking out this book!
Grab a copy of “Never Turn Down Free Calories” and get inspired to chase your next adventure!
