THRU HIKING WISDOMS
THRU HIKING
• By me being there and receiving all that from Mother Nature (historic rainfall), it becomes all psychological. And it’s just an alignment between your physical body and your mind.
• You just gotta keep going.
• Am I having fun? Am I loving what I’m doing, doing what I love?
• My inspiration is the path, the journey, the learning. It’s the experience. It’s the discovery.
It’s the adventure. It’s so much.
• Unless you have support, it’s too difficult to be intaking everything you need
when it comes to nutrition.
• I’m just following the footprints of so many others before.
• I learned my lesson. I only wear my rain jacket once. For one season.
• Just keep your eyes on the ground when you’re hiking in the desert. If you need to look around, stop. Don’t try to be looking at things and walking at the same time,
• If it’s really high (rivers) you’d be stupid to try to put your physical body against water.
• When I cross a river, nothing stays out of my backpack. My backpack is solid.
