This one’s basically a campfire conversation—without the campfire.

If you missed it, here’s a link to our original conversation back in 2016: [Adventurist Life](https://americanadventurist.com/life-with-an-old-troopy/) (American Adventurist)

Today we explore adventure itself; getting away from it all—think: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What’s the call of the wild all about? What possesses some of us to seek out relaxation in roughing it?

This was the first time I’ve ever actually spoken with Carter at length in realtime. I can’t believe we waited this long. If this cat tells me he’s going to Overland Expo up in Flagstaff this year, I’ll be there.

Are you ready for the next level?
