When you’re in the wild, there’s nothing to hide behind. No bars or credit cards or movie theatres or cell phones or credentials or security. You’re just alone with yourself. You look around and lose yourself in the mountains, rivers, forests or tundra, but you can see nothing except for the chaos in your own mind. It is fucking terrifying and peaceful at the same time. Shannon Mullen
About This Quote

In the wild, there’s nothing to hide behind. In the wilderness, you get a chance to get back to who you really are. There is no time to waste, and no money or power or connections to hold you back.
