We may ALL be struggling to survive the surrealist nightmare which is “post-Pandemic” 2023, but there’s still stuff to be grateful for. Not dying slowly of scurvy in the frozen Arctic, or roasting like a pair of hot nuts under a relentless Sahara sun, for starters. We’re also collectively blessed with an uncanny ability to adapt, overcome, and experience “Post Traumatic Growth,” which you gotta admit doesn’t suck.
This month Teams Edward & Kimberly kick off summer—and seasonal travel—with a pair of swan dives into tales of human resilience in the face of our O.G. adversary, Nature. Kimberly unearths the story of Ada Blackjack, a 23-year-old Inuit girl coerced into a disastrous Arctic expedition with a bunch of inexperienced white boys and a housecat. Edward pulls out the harrowing journey of Mauro Prosperi, an ultramarathoner whose persistence in the face of adversity landed him in a desert cave drinking his own urine like a champ.
The gang is joined by special guest judge TR Hendricks, a veteran Army intelligence officer and author of the fantastic new survivor thriller “The Instructor,” about a former marine using SERE school techniques to take on a surprise threat hidden in the Adirondacks. (It’s one of the best summer reads you’ll blow through this year, so grab a copy en route to the beach or pool.)
