That gets boring for team leaders, so we're always changing that stuff.

And the Montana Pilots Association has actually flown us into landing strips before as well.

Yeah.

Well, as well as Columbus has an airstrip that they flew us down to last year.

Very cool.

But that would be awesome.

They've got some of the craziest stories.

Human beings have done this before and they share stories with us about doing it.

Believe me, it's, I enjoy getting to listen to their stories and, uh,

That is one thing that's cool about the Backcountry Immersion course that we do teach is it's not only the naked and afraid team, but then three of us are also wilderness survival instructors, right?

We've spent quite a bit of time doing this.

We've got SEER guys that come with us.

SF medics and just getting to give the shortcuts, right?

You know this as well as I do when it comes to military training.

One of the biggest things is getting people in the same room that are gonna give you all the cheat codes so you don't have to go learn yourself.

So much of that can happen in the two days and then getting to do the practical

experience where we all go suffer together and it sucks and you get to experience fatigue and cold and also leadership and get to see folks do it right alongside of you.

There's a lot to be said for the amount of information that you will gain in 96 hours so that in the future whenever you wanna go out into the back country in Montana, it won't eat you because we will go through all the scary stories

that do absolutely happen where people just never get found again because to your point, they disrespected or just didn't have the knowledge to go see something beautiful.

But a lot of times beautiful things can bite.
