About this listen

A behind-the-scenes edition of 2,000 Miles Together, offering over four hours of bonus content featuring interviews and insights by the Crawford family. Not available in other formats.

As his six children slept on the dirty floor of a women’s restroom while a blizzard howled outside, Ben Crawford had one thought: Have I gone too far? The next morning, Child Protective Services, along with an armed sheriff, arrived to ask the same question.

2,000 Miles Together is the story of the largest family ever to complete a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, defying skeptics and finding friends in the unlikeliest of places. On the trail, Ben Crawford battled not only the many dangers and obstacles presented by the wilderness - snowstorms, record-breaking heat, Lyme disease, overflowing rivers, toothaches, rattlesnakes, forest fires, and spending the night with a cult - but also his own self-doubt. In an effort to bring his family closer together, was he jeopardizing his future relationship with his kids? When the hike was done, would any of them speak to him again?

The Crawford family’s self-discovery over five months, thousands of miles, and countless gummy bears proves that there’s more than one way to experience life to the fullest. You don’t have to accept the story you’ve been shown. By leaving home, you’ll find more than just adventure - you’ll find a new perspective on the relationships we often take for granted, and open yourself up to a level of connection you never thought possible.

Enjoyable and interesting read.

I found this a very authentic story. I enjoyed hearing from all the members of the Crawford family. I found it to be an authentic recount, and very meaningful.

Lots of focus on refuting the critics more than hiking

For the first third the story focuses a lot on the family’s critics with hiking finally taking a front seat in the second half.

I feel that was the story that needed to be told, but not really what the blurb promised as dealing with the critics was mentioned in the same way as Lyme disease.

The extra commentary doesn’t contribute to the story as much as it breaks the rhythm and repeats the previous chapters numerous times with poorer quality audio from the different family members.
