Raising Trailmen is a podcast for dads, leaders, and mentors who want to raise godly young men through outdoor adventure. We share stories from the trail — camping, hiking, canoeing, and more — along with practical tips, spiritual insights, and lessons learned in the wild. Whether it’s a quiet moment around the campfire or a muddy trek through the woods, we believe God uses these experiences to shape character, build resilience, and strengthen faith.
Join Mark Hancock at the 2026 NCR TRLC during his unscripted fireside chat, rallying the troops to Trail Life's Mission: to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.
