Publisher's Summary

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.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed finally reading or listening to the book. I watched the YouTube journey on the AT.

If you want to listen to a self absorbed, self righteous person for days… then listen to this

I really wanted to like this audiobook. I have a toddler and we are envisioning what hiking with a child could look like in the future. Tips, tricks, good storytelling of the journey. But what I first noticed was how annoying Ben’s voice is, and it also irked me when he “let” other family members talk at the end (like his wife) and then totally dominated the dialogue. He also was in total defensive mode and seemed to be set out to prove himself to the listener that he was always doing the right thing. I didn’t know the family blogged throughout their trek, and it bothered me how much time Ben focused on talking about his online presence, as well as the online hate. On hour 10 I gave up listening and don’t regret it. From what I’ve read online- all the things I dislike about the story just got worse after that point.
