The Dirtbag Diaries- LIVE
October 24, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Loud and Heartfelt Stories from Quiet Places
Thursday, October 24, 5-8 p.m.
The Great Lakes Outdoor Summit presents live Dirtbag Diaries brought to you by the Minnesota Land Trust. Quiet places produce the biggest emotions. Writer and host of the Dirtbag Diaries, Fitz Cahall, sits down with three legends. Lakota skier and activist Connor Ryan has set out to help Indigenous youth find joy, healing, and stoke in the mountains. After surviving a catastrophic climbing fall, adventurer and advocate Quinn Brett is on a mission to expand the map for people with disabilities. Once part of the legendary indie band Low, Alan Sparhawk finds solace and connection in the Northwoods.
Founded in 2007, The Dirtbag Diaries is like a cult classic in the outdoor world. First circulated on burned discs and iPods in college dorm rooms, the show aims for the heart by coupling wild adventure stories with powerful human experiences. “Adrenaline and energy drinks don’t make a community,” says host Fitz Cahall. “It’s stories that allow us to see ourselves in one another.” He is the author of the newly released States of Adventure.
