This week we return to preparedness through the lens of adventurism. The idea that we as humans need to experience new places and new people to grow, to become better humans and contribute to a greater society. I am back from an epic back country 7 day canoe trip in northern Saskatchewan, where I met 8 new people and has an amazing adventure. We discussed my research, I was challenged on ideas and I am a better researcher in the field because I spent time with the practitioners and academics who train them. Preparedness enables this, by wrapping a blanket of preparedness around ourselves, we are free to pursue these adventures, knowing that our normal lives are safe and that if trouble hits, and it usually does, we can return to our normal lives. Preparedness is the facilitator of an amazing life.
