    Love her attitude and the way she's always happy and joking with others. Watched her podcast with Joe Rogan and got a sense of how grounded she is. But I really wanna know what really goes inside her head when she goes full beast mode because for the most part she doesn't tell much about it. As Goggins said , "some people hide their demon inside, but there's one for sure" (paraphrased). But in any case, she's an inspiration. GO Courtney !

      I’m almost glad to hear this happens over there too.. I don’t understand the mentality of bagging it, and leaving it. you’re in the middle of nowhere and you come across bags of crap, over here I’ve seen it hung in trees!? just train the dog to crap in the bush, or kick it out if the way. I mean bag it an bin it around busy places, playing fields etc, but middle of nowhere, going through woods etc, it’d breakdown faster surely out of a bag in the undergrowth.
