Haha! It’s a wonderful experience! Maybe we’ll organize a Substackers Round 2 some day :)

Mark - it was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it. Jason will never let me live it down that I puked on his sandals (and my crocs, which he used often during the night after that). I blame it on him for sleeping closest to the tent door.

If I ever do it again, I'll be more prepared.

I am so grateful I got to share the experience with you, my brother. The way you pushed yourself over those eight days inspires me still, and it always will!!
