The biggest thing for me was just gratitude. Not taking things for granted in daily life. When you're out there in the middle of nowhere and there's no running water, air conditioning, heat, plumbing, indoor plumbing, it's just like all these things that we just go through in our daily lives and you don't really think about. I think I still have that appreciation for all those things now.
What drives someone to take on some of the toughest physical challenges out there?
