Johnny Molloy in the Tennessee MountainsJohnny Molloy, Outdoor Writer. Johnny is the author of 33 outdoor guides and I’d vote him the hiker with the most outdoor mojo. He typically spends more than 300 nights outside every year! In this interview, we talk about how Johnny went from being a city boy to a primo outdoorsman, thanks to a mentor; the basics of getting into camping, starting with car camping and working your way into backpacking; what are the fears and rewards a new backpacker will encounter; and where the best wild places are. As Johnny says in this interview “Here ain’t here, and there ain’t there.”
