6 Generations ago Americans were ‘Going West’ with everything they owned in the back of a wagon, now most would get lost on a hike in the woods. Survival skills are something often not practiced, until it’s too late. Everyone will come across a time in life, where they simply have to figure it out with only what they have. Every able bodied person should be able to be thrown into the woods for a few days; while keeping dry, hydrated, and warm. Putting some of these skills to test in the next year. Camping in Haleakalā National Park’a crater to round out 2023. 6 hour hike to camping spot , but we will exit the park through a seldom used trail that will take 8-10 hours. Machete is packed 🙃 In 2024 will see how long we make it with nothing but backpacks, across Kauai and Big Island, and camp Death Valley during its hottest month of the year.

We will have to rely on eachother, maybe even through some snow! ⛄️ _______________________________ Grew up by miles and miles of woods, always enjoyed getting lost in them. Hiked in California a lot, busy and maintained though. Excited to be without cell service! #outdoorrecreation #lifeskills #leadershipdevelopment #growthmindset
