Lessons from a lifetime of journey<\/h2>\n

There is a lot extra to Mike Atkinson (aka Outback Mike) than what we noticed of his 64 days, toughing it out within the wilds of Tassie\u2019s west coast, on the primary season of SBS\u2019 Alone Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been having epic expedition-style adventures since his first lengthy hike at 11 years previous together with his household and constructing in direction of his first solo journey, snowboarding from Mt Kosciusko to Canberra, aged 17.<\/p>\n

Watching him on ALONE, I used to be drawn in by his problem-solving and seemingly infinite tinkering to construct a greater existence on the market. As you\u2019ll hear on this episode (and may learn rather more about in his e book Modern Day Castaway)<\/em>, that canoe wasn\u2019t his first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this ep we get to know a bit extra about what drives one of these life and what it takes within the type of meticulous planning and testing, earlier than committing to one thing that may value him every thing and the way he as soon as made the choice to name for assist.<\/p>\n

BTS: If you hear fastidiously, you may hear plane within the background. Yep\u2026 if you happen to\u2019re going to be an Air Force pilot, you reside close to an airbase!<\/em><\/p>\n
