"Am I a fully functioning adult capable of navigating the Icelandic wilderness? Or am I merely a waddling toddler who needs to be told where to place his doo-doo?" ha ha, excellent piece. Well done - great start
Were you able to see that I restacked you? I couldn't find it anywhere (Notes confuses me I guess I am just too old ha ha) but I put something like.... this essay is full of shit and it is excellent, and I wondered if it got deleted being misinterpreted as a criticism which would be kind of funny!
Ah Garrett this was so good & so much fun. Got a bunch of good laughs.
Funny as I cut my teeth on backpacking and going backcountry last summer, how similar our experiences were.
Great work man !
Thanks, man! Your LinkedIn essay and Alex's writing have inspired me to be a little silly sometimes. This was fun to write, glad it was fun to read.

Very useful - thanks for teaching an oldie ha ha
It’s a great question about ultimate humility. I can’t think of a time when I experienced it- so that might be saying something.
(Also, outstanding piece)
Knowing you, I don't think you have as much of a problem with hubris as I do. I needed a face-smack of humility to ground me. Thank you for reading!
Hey Garrett, I enjoyed your posting. Such fun in the Land of Fire and Ice!
