Thanks for this Chris. So very many excellent life lessons in John’s insights. His point about solo backpacking particularly resonates. I live in the mountains of Idaho. Getting out for a week solo recharges my brain and soul and is great for a fitness ramp up.

1. Build a strong back and hard feet.
2. Take feedback, stay calm, and keep getting better under pressure.
3. Do the right thing when you’re scared, exhausted, and unsure.
