Christopher R Abbey’s suburban childhood enamored him with roadtripping. A job at an amusement park in early adulthood became a catalyst that launched him across the United States while he developed a career in entertainment. A friend at a cross-fit gym in Los Angeles opened a new chapter in Chris’ life when he introduced him to backpacking in the Sierra Nevada. Jason and Chris spoke one evening at his home in Pasadena about his life as an artist, his experiences on trails and in canyons, his pursuits in adventure filmmaking and documentary, his relation to Ed Abbey, and his past as a Disney World furry.
