Description

Today’s episode marks a big first for me! This is the first time I’ve been able to have a guest return for a second episode, which I’m so thrilled about. This week, Trina Moyles is back! If you’re a longtime listener, you may remember her from AnthroDish’s first season, where she spoke about the global experiences of women farmers from her beautiful Women Who Dig debut book. This week, we’re having a conversation around her all new book, Lookout: Love Solitude, and Searching for Wildfire in the Boreal Forest through Penguin Publishing. Lookout came out in March 2021, and I honestly could not put it down. The book is a powerful memoir about her experiences working alone in a remote lookout tower near Peace River, Alberta, and her eyewitness account of the unpredictable nature of wildfire in the Canadian north. Today, Trina shares her experiences as a fire tower lookout and how she navigated storing, growing, and cooking food. Being a lookout is an isolating experience, and she explores in our conversation the little moments with nature and making foods in the tower that taught her more about herself and the world around her. I will not give more away, but I will say, her descriptions of the baking she did at the tower were SO good, and leave you hungry!
