If any I was talking about it with my friends the other day and if everyone can do their form of an adventure race
00:00:08
or an expedition race, I feel like the world would be a better place because you you learn so much about yourself.
00:00:16
You learn so much about your teammates and you know you you do push outside your comfort zone whether or not that's
00:00:24
three hours or three days. Everybody learns and once you get through it and once you get to the other side you go
00:00:32
well I if I can do that I can I can now do more things and yeah >> you know you hear people talking about
00:00:38
building resilience and I suppose what this does it's like any obstacles that
00:00:42
come your way in day-to-day life you're going to be able to draw on these experiences and go well I survived that
00:00:48
so I know I can survive this. >> Yeah. And it and what I love to say is it strips you back to your raw self.
00:00:55
Like so many life these days is busy. There's so much social media and uh you
00:01:02
know you're driving on the highway and going to work and you know it ends up
00:01:05
being a roller coaster of the same same same. But going out in nature, going out
00:01:11
doing something like that, you know, you don't have your phone. You all you've
00:01:15
got is yourself and focusing on that one step ahead. And I always say you've got
00:01:22
to disconnect to reconnect. And my form of disconnecting is going out and doing things like that. And I love it when I
00:01:30
bring my friends into the bush or into a track and they've never done anything
00:01:36
like this before. And it's the some of the best experience that they've ever
00:01:40
had. Imagine, you know, doing that once a month or whatever. The world would be a better place. Seriously would be.
