Trapper Haskins, author of Crooked River, built his own Mississippi Yawl and paddled it all the way to New Orleans—but the real journey was internal. In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Trapper shares the story behind building his boat, the inspiration behind the trip, and how navigating the river helped him navigate a personal crossroads.

We dive into the highs and lows of the adventure, the craftsmanship behind his boat, and the mental and emotional clarity that can emerge when we fully commit to something difficult and uncertain. It’s a moving tale of self-reliance, reinvention, and finding purpose on the water.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a reset—or just building a boat and heading south—you’ll want to listen to this one.
