Four unconventional takeaways from the movie ‘Wild’.
Almost everyone has read the #book or seen the #movie ‘Wild’ describing Cheryl Strayed’s Pacific Crest Trail (#PCT) #journey.
Here are 4 #unconventional takeaways from the movie it that very few may #discover.
#1. The book changed the message of outdoors literature — from guides, grand first achievements, heroic sagas — all daunting for an average outdoor aspirant ..
..to..in the wilderness.
..a simple story of an average woman, all alone and by herself embarking on an epic adventure.
#2. Wild is not a story about hiking
It is about Cheryl’s life and her experiences.
The book resonated with so many people because it was a deeply human story of her circumstances and a way she dealt with them — by putting one foot in front of the other.
#3. Wild is about reclaiming what is ours.
The trails belong to all of us — not just to those who are expert outdoors persons.
The more we give people a chance go into, and to love the outdoors, the more of there are to protect them.
#4. Wild will not answer your big questions.
It will help you ask the right ones.
It is a universal human story about questions we must ask ourselves, about how we can bear what we think we cannot bear.
If you are outdoors often or want to being your outdoor journey, I can help put it together for you.
I love sharing insights from the trail. Connect with me and let’s take your ideas from concept to conclusion.
