October News: I’m going to try and survive in a Utah desert

UPDATE: I’m back and alive. Here are the photos of my 28 days in the wild!!!

Losing 25 pounds in 28 days

 

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. I’ve been working on several secret projects, and getting ready to launch them in the Fall.

But for the next month, I’m moving into a desert. What? That’s right…for 28 days, I’ll be doing the Boulder Outdoor Survival School.

I’ll be living in the desert with 11 other students and 3 teachers. We will be hiking 20 miles a day, only eating what we find, hiking with no backpack, and just trying to survive. The average person loses 20-30 pounds.

The video below shows the majority of the things I’m bringing with me—1 jacket, one sweater, a hat, 2 shirts, a pair of zip off pants, and a hat. I’ll also have my Vibram Five Fingers KSO Trek shoes, a pair of running shoes, a Nalgene, and a few other tiny items. After a week, I’ll get to carry a Poncho and a Knife as well.

So, for the next month, I will be journaling my experiences in the wilderness, and when I get back I’ll blog about them. I have a camera, so I’ll be taking photo and video of living in the wilderness.

Until then, I’m going to quietly let you guys take a sneak peak at my secret project, the 90 Days Project, which I’ll be launching in November.

I’m leaving tomorrow morning, and I’ll return back October 22, 2011. Until then, stay fly.
