Comment: Out of the Woods- Dave Cornthwaite tells his tale as he hikes to the so

Wow Dave - that' a brilliant story. I was rapt! Sounds like you came pretty close to the edge. I was talking to the legendry Bob Cooper (Australian outback survival expert) and he said your biggest enemy in a survival situation is your own mind. You can just as easily talk yourself into failure as you can survival. And for many, its the ego that refuses to acknowledge in time that you're in strife. The mark of an experienced adventurer is one who does not ignore the signs of being on the edge. Well done on your achivement and we look forward to more of your adventure stories as your trip further unfolds. Michelle
