Yeah, it's been a beautiful learning journey.

So interestingly, the Oryx Desert Salt Journey seemed to have started seven years before I even came across the product.

So I did a 75-mile, seven-day walk through the Nama Desert.

So I was traveling with friends and the skeleton coast of Namibia is quite an enigma.

It's very hard to get to because there's just hundreds of miles of desert dropping into the ocean.

And we tried to go down, you know, no entry signs and we got fined.

And then eventually we ended up in Hartman's Valley, which is the last public sort of access area.

And then there's the Kunene River that splits Angola and Namibia.

And now because there was this beautiful water source, and when I walked over with my partner at the time, Daniel, the Kunene River has white beaches and palm trees.

We'd been in the desert for three months.

We were like, this is amazing.

Okay, so we've got water.

Let's walk to the Skeleton Coast, as one does in the desert.

Yeah.

So, yeah, so we filled our backpack.

We only had one liter of water.

Oh, my gosh.

So I learned then to pre-hydrate.

Pretty amazing.

We'd drink like 15 cups of tea in the morning before we left.
