Companion forum thread to: Going Home

The transitions from the simple discomfort of the trail to the chaotic comfort of life at home happen by degrees. What can I learn from the trail that will allow me to experience home life in a new way?

Great article Ben…keep them coming. It is a weird transition when I come out of an awesome adventure back into the “real” world. Sadly it doesn’t take long to adjust. I seldom get to locations as isolated as your Grand Canyon trip. Makes me jealous…

Too many choices in everyday life. That’s why trail life is so relaxing!
