"Yeah, I think that’s important to recognize because it’s really easy, I mean especially with what I do and what I talk about, and I see so much of the value in nature. Gosh, I also see a beautiful moose and a calf running around, and then next week I see the calf ripped the shreds by wolves and you’re just like, “Oh.” And it’s not as Rousseauian as we like to think. Things must die for things to live, like you said. And that’s just played out all the time. And it’s indifferent to you, doesn’t care if you live or die, and doesn’t care how you die or how much pain you go through while you… It’s pretty brutal. So it’s interesting that he taps into that, and I think it’s valuable because it’s easy to idealize in a way."

It’s actually one of the things that I’ve enjoyed the most about guiding people, is giving them the tools so that now they have this ability into the future. You can go out and feel like, “I’m going to pick this spot on the map and go there.” And that’s a tool in your toolkit of life that is I think really valuable, because I think everybody should spend some time in nature. I think it’s been pretty proven healthy."

"And then, I think things that might, you start thinking about family and this and that in those situations. And I just knew that those… because I had gone to all these trips to Russia for a year at a time, the time context was a little broader for me than I think for some people. Because I knew I could be gone for a year and come back, catch up with my loved ones, bring what I got back, whether that’d be psychological, whatever it is, and we’d all enrich each other."
