After paralysis, Casey Callister thought hiking with his family was something he could no longer do. His wife encouraged him to try a paved trail in his wheelchair—and that became a starting point for reconnecting with life.
In this clip from The MisFitNation, the U.S. Army veteran and Vet5 Foundation co-founder shares his advice for veterans facing isolation after a life-changing injury: encourage participation, build connection, and find accessible ways to get involved again.
Casey explains why family support matters, why encouragement should never become pressure, and how adaptive outdoor recreation can help veterans rediscover activities they enjoy.
