I was a very fit person and when my health deteriorated, the outdoors kept me going.Learning as much as I could from youtube when I couldn’t go outside. It still keeps me going now. I spent a week in hospital with another chest infection and itll take me two months to get back to a stage where I can workout on weights again. The outdoors cleans out my mind and resets it. The challenges Ive had in my life were mainly health related and I wouldn’t have been the same person with out them.

“If you keep moving you get somewhere,it may not be exactly where you thought yourd end up but its almost better than where you started.”

It comes back to finding your purpose. My staffy always made friends for me. Being outdoors makes me meet people now.

The Knee is still shot.Ive been told this by two doctors now. An orthopedic surgeon and an occupational physician. Its been two years now and without getting that to a decent level I wont be able to do my wilderness medicine and level two bushcraft. This has made me push harder.I just need to get my lung capacity back up to push even harder.
