A lot of people ask me if I’m scared to leave everything and everyone I know to spend half a year in the wilderness. Bears, wolves, snakes, bugs, being alone, sleeping in the dirt, flipping my boat over, heavy rain, lightning, massive barges, crazy people. These are the most common concerns that people have when asking me about my trip. They are legit concerns.
The biggest fear I have doesn’t have to do with the physical trip. It has to do with this website. Letting the entire world into my life. Well probably not the entire world, maybe 99% of it that will read this. Telling my story. Putting myself out there and letting everyone know that I am an alcoholic and drug addict.
