We all love to get out there as often as we can. But some days, you’re just not supposed to be in the wild. Some days, the mountain says No.

This episode is all about those moments—the ones where something inside you whispers, “Not today, friend.” Whether you're off physically, stuck in your own head, riding out an emotional storm, or just feeling that deep-down pull to turn back, learning to listen to that voice matters.

Because the wilderness doesn’t just test you—it talks to you. And sometimes, the most seasoned move you can make is knowing when to stay home.
