I linked up with Australian adventurer Lucy Barnard in Central America as she hiked past the halfway mark of her 30,000km hike from the southern tip of South America to the northern tip of Alaska.

I've known Lucy for a while now and we unpacked her adventure while hiking for three days up an active volcano in Guatemala while her hiking companion, Wombat (blue heeler cattle dog), was recovering from a foot injury at a local vet.

I got to know Naomi closely as we worked together for two weeks as survival instructors for Desert Island Survival on an uninhabited island off Panama. This is a summation of those deep convos in our hammocks after 'work'.

Strap in. We cover some interesting territory-

-survival coping mechanisms

-bisuexual polygamy

-rape, extreme trauma, and the aftermath

-hardship bonding and more.

Naomi has experienced amazing things in the survival world despite finding her passion recently and still being in her twenties. Labelled 'Bushcraft Barbie', she doesn't fit the fashion-designer stereotype.......at all.

From bear encounters (bear and Bear), to dealing with the media, to post partum depression she's open and honest about her fears and failures.
