Summary

Most tales of adventure follow a predictable arc: someone sets off on an epic trip, they encounter moments of great peril, and they come out the other side stronger. But every so often you hear about a different kind of transformational journey—one that takes place beyond the parameters of a wilderness expedition or a global quest, and one that allows you to truly understand the experiences of another human in a deeper way. For this episode of our Wild Files series, we bring you the story of Alex Showerman, an outdoor athlete who spent years trying to outrun a secret about herself, only to crash headlong into it. This episode of the Outside Podcast is brought to you by the all-new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, a 4x4 SUV with seven available G.O.A.T. modes that enable it to go over any type of terrain.

0:00.0	This episode of the outside podcast is brought to you by the 2021 all-new Ford Bronco
0:06.0	Sport, a four by four SUV with seven available goat modes that enable it to go
0:11.5	over any type of terrain. But some of the most impressive elements are in the
0:16.4	interior. My full name is Carrie Cannerley and I'm a color materials designer at Ford
0:22.2	Motor Company. I've been here forever. For Carrie, working on the Bronco Sport was
0:27.8	a passion project. The chance to bring to life a legendary vehicle for a new
0:33.2	generation. I'm born and raised and to try to miss
0:36.4	again so automotive has always been in my family. Okay, so you are like true blue.
0:42.2	Yes, yes. Members of Carrie's team went to great lengths to research design
0:48.7	elements, camping out with off-road enthusiasts and interviewing the kind of
0:53.2	people that demand the most from their SUVs. The result are features like
0:57.7	the available moly straps for securing gear. A concept that was inspired by high-end
1:03.0	backpacks, hiking boots and technical jackets. A guy that was a photographer. He
1:08.4	loved the idea of the moly straps on the seat back because he said he could
1:11.6	put his camera inside and then he could connect his lenses with just the hooks.
1:17.5	But simply attaching straps to standard fabric on the back of the seat
1:21.7	backs would never do. So the fabric that is behind the moly straps is actually a
1:26.9	police grade fabric that we put in police vehicles. Climb inside the Bronco Sport
1:31.9	and you'll find a range of rugged features like a safari style roof and lift gate
1:37.0	flood lamps for easier base camp setup. Learn more at Ford.com slash Bronco.
1:44.9	From outside magazine, this is the outside podcast.
1:59.0	When it comes to tales of adventure, there is often a predictable story arc.
