This is Part 2 of our mini-series that’s inspired by the life of Aaron Ralston. Again, if you haven’t watched 127 hours – the movie adapted from his biographical wilderness adventure story, Between a Rock and a Hard Place – please do watch it now. I’ll wait for you.
All done? Feeling a little teary-eyed at how things turned out? Does it make you want to run for cover or go loose in the wild?If it’s the latter then you may just have the same spirit for adventure that Ralston has. And hopefully, you’ve learned a couple of things from his experiences, such as —
- Inform people where you’re going, how long you expect to be gone, and when they should file a missing report
- Avoid using low-quality outdoor gear
- Double-check your items before leaving
- And maybe…have someone with you when you’re off on your outdoor travels
What Kinds of Wilderness Adventures Should You Try?
How to Choose the Best Wilderness Adventure for You
Aaron Ralston tried and loved it all. He was a mountain climber, a canyoneer, and with or without the sun, snowing or not, he always managed to find an adventure to enjoy in the wilderness.
