"Adventure is just bad planning."
~Roald Amundsen
Rarely does a Quote interest me enough to comment on, but this one does.
This Explorer is very famous and he knew it could be fatal if you didn't PLAN for every possibility.
But that was then and this is now!
The past 35 years of my life (I'm proud to say) have had MANY instances of BADDDD! planning!
I wouldn't trade all those experiences for any amount of money.
What did I learn? I must have been CRAZY!, you idiot! what did you do that for?
You see, I wasn't headed for the top or bottom of the world. It is not scary going on adventures, it's a few years later that you realize that maybe I was too stupid to be scared.
I like the TV show Survivor Man because he purposely puts himself into a challenging situation. He does research and planning but all the planning doesn't fix everything.
I think there are people that only read about adventures, but believe me, you won't regret making your own adventures.
