About this episode
Today Arizona Duff joins the show. She discusses her first experience on trek, navigating the fundamental challenges and shifts that occur while on the trail. Namely - several moments at Cypher's Mine where she began to feel the love of the Philmont staff family, as they invited her onto the stomp stage to play a tune.
Fast forward to 2018 - Arizona examines her journey in Timber Stand Improvement and becoming a certified Sawyer. The experience grew her appreciation for the work it takes to be good stewards of this land we all love and share.
Today, Arizona is working towards a PhD studying the history of work and labor music. She praises the Philmont music culture as a tool to share - not only history, but also encourage staff and participants to process feelings.
