      Most people cannot for the life of them trick their brains into feeling fear as excitement
      Alex Honnolds brain is wired differently from the way most peoples brains are wired . This has been proved and his brain has been studied . His amygdala is different from that of most people . Also he has a streak of obsessive compulsive about him and is highly intelligent . He studied the route on El Capitan for years getting every aspect right before making his free solo attempt . One of the attributes is unusual. The combination of these attributes in one individual is very rare

    When I first moved out on my own I stressed over every little thing. Then I deployed and got caught behind a very small piece of cover. I sat trying to get small for a few hours ( really only a couple of seconds ) waiting for a break in the fire, and realized all the things I used to stress about really weren't important.

    The mountains can always surprise you. I'm nowhere even remotely close to Alex's climbing level, but I've been up a lot of mountains and no matter the weather, I always take plenty of warm gear, gloves, hat etc and extra food. I've been caught out a number of times and been fine. The worst situation I ever had was in the heat. I went two days without water and got lost in the wilderness of southern Tasmania on my own. I was out there for about 9 days in total. I remember drinking from a muddy puddle one day and on another, smahing my way through thick bush to get to a lake so I could drink. In those 9 days, I saw only three other people. I was too blaze. It was very fit and confident, but did not do enough prep, in terms of the degree of water I was likely to find.

Policies get worse nonstop, and the income is always affected. Starting on UA-cam at this point in history for anything other than showcasing an *existing profession* is something I would not recommend to anyone.
