Thank you to everyone that has pre-ordered the book, as way of thanks we have sent out your early copies!
This video... how to explain it. Well, we tried to read and it went places that is for sure. We picked out (2) excerpts to share and hope you all enjoy!
Countless books out there on “how” to hike, what gear is best, and how to prepare.
This book is different. Instead of a another “look at me and my achievements” book, It’s a revelation that studies the molding of 2 different pieces of Clay. One is Constantine the driven and developing hiker, the other is Ryan, who is sorting out the conflict of the time “In Between”. Such an interesting personal evolution as the hikes, the pain (physical, psychological, and emotional) the milestones and the rewards are earned and realized.
I could not help myself in comparing what I’ve seen in hundreds of Constantine videos, to now learning more background as to what was happening during some of these hikes. Such a good read on so many levels.
PS: Still the most stubborn and strong willed man I have ever met. And now a terrific writer.
Wow, I do not know what to say Bob, thank you! I was very happy you were one of the very first to receive the book. You have truly always been in our corner, and the gift you have given us with that word "connection" continues to overflow with meaning. Thank you for being a part of our proverbial home.
P:S: Yea..... my greatest super power and my greatest weakness, my stubbornness. I am just a giant donkey stuck in a human's body. There is another term for donkey.... but hopefully I never cross that threshold, only the stubbornness.
Totally agree with this review.
So, this IS a book about international intrigue and the world of high-stakes diplomacy! My copy is arriving this Saturday in Chicago. Thanks for the early release!
You sir are indeed correct, thanks for noticing!! It is really just a book about international spy rings, diplomatic power struggles behind closed doors, the conversations that are whispered that pull the strings of governments thousands of miles around the world, and a bearded man with a backpack that blends into these boardrooms. Everyone keeps thinking it is about hiking for some reason????? Thank you so much for finding the true meaning! Haha, hope you enjoy the book!
Hey Constantine! I'm curious why you have stopped making/posting youtube videos. Is everything alright with you? I hope so and am looking forward to hearing about your latest adventures!!
Thank you for sharing those excerpts. You may not feel you read well, but you write very eloquently indeed.
Thank you, I do enjoy writing and feel the "groove" when putting the words on paper, but speaking... well speaking we all see what happens!
Why did you talk about that damn Barbie song? Now it's stuck in MY head!
Uh-oh! RUN, RUN as fast as you can from that deep well of insanity. Barbie will chase you, but do not let her catch you, her powers are too great for us mortals..... I pray for your soul and sanity!
Damn, another great shirt! Constantine, the book is great, but I think your future is in Hawaiian shirts.
And thru-hiking of course.
Hahahaha, I actually had the thought while recording that you were going to say something about the shirt! I love the funky designs, keeps it looking fresh, now I only need a gold chain and more chest hair to make the look complete.
Will have to buy your book.
Have you considered hiking all the national trails?
You read exactly like I did when reading to others - not a problem so don't feel you are alone in doing it.
What changed my world was... I was finally told I was probably dyslexic which explained a lot of the troubles I have in school. ( likely why I love backpacking so much)
It is probably too late for this pointer as you most likely are finished recording your audio book already but..... the thing that changed my reading in public was to slide a ruler down under each line so that my eyes didn't skip around so much and loose track of where each word was.
Maybe give it a try.
Again not a criticism just sharing.
Can't wait to buy your Audio book to listen to on my next adventure!!!

Hey Constantine, if for some reason you decide to give up hiking, you could start a new hustle reading. You could call it "An evening with C", as long as you don't read Disney, Minnie shouldn't mind. LOL
Haha, thanks Bernie! As far as giving up hiking....?!?!?!? NEVER! Yet, the "Evening with C" hour sounds humorously fun so people can just watch me absolutely demolish the written word with the way I chew through my speech..... A mickey mouse reading you say????? I am intrigued, I am definitely intrigued!
