The Tahoe Rim Trail (Ep 9): Saying the Quiet Part out Loud (Is Quitting Ever an Option)
12 Dec 2023
After a light & fun discussion about their journey after the trail (and a bear break-in!) Carrie and Molly have an honest discussion about what it’s like to quit a trail. They talk about assessing yourself and the situation, when to push through, and the mental burden of not fulfilling the expectations you have for yourself. (Starts around minute 16). Honesty is the best policy, and we hope to open a discussion around the fact that success in the wilderness is based on a safe return—not finishing every objective no matter the risk. Stay tuned in to the end to hear about behavioral economics and the sunk cost effect for some research-backed encouragement on when it’s ok to quit. They also announce the topic of their next series!
