Welcome back to False Summit: Tales, Trails, and Epic Fails! Join hosts Octavia and EM, as they kick off this episode with Octavia's wild adventure trekking through the French Alps – complete with sheer drops, a feisty donkey, and an unexpected showdown with fire ants. From the scenic views to the chaotic mishaps, they’ll cover the highs, the lows, and all the funny moments in between.

Then, we dive into two unforgettable trail tales. First, Em recounts a spine-chilling encounter with two bears in the mountains – a heart-pounding reminder that wilderness life isn’t all serene sunsets and quiet forests. Next, a journey to overcome addiction led to scaling mountains and summiting personal goals, with some unbelievable challenges along the way.

Finally, to wrap it up with “Trail Mix”, a music playlist, and a few essentials to make any hike a bit smoother (or at least more entertaining). Don’t miss the episode’s grand finale, where Octavia and Em share some laugh-worthy trail wisdom and remind us why we keep coming back for more.
