Long distance. Alone. He will tell you he hiked for the adventure. He will also tell you that he never really hiked alone — that he carries a permanent tramily with him everywhere he goes. His grandfather, who died when Ben was 15 and left him a saddle, a skinning knife, and a specific rifle because Ben was his cowboy grandchild. The girl in West Texas who passed that same summer. The others who came after. The Permanent Tramily is the story of a man who accumulated loss across his whole life — at 15, in the years after, and in a relationship that ended just before he bought a plane ticket to San Diego and hiked 2,650 miles north. It’s also the story of what he found on the other side. Dark Miles is a narrative documentary series from Hiker Trash Radio.","meta_description":"Ben Cox has been hiking his whole life.
