Comfort w/ Discomfort V.1 20″ Strap

Listen to the body. Ignore the body. Breath into it. Sink into it. Peel back the layers one by one. Hour by hour, minute by minute, the further you go the less you need and the more you want—a catalog of luxuries you wear and inhabit and depend on without any conscious thought or consideration. Usually it’s the lack of temperature regulation that is the first to go. Then mealtimes and meal regularity. Sleeping on the ground. Shitting in the woods. No hot water. Various cuts and bruises. Wet feet and cold hands. Eventually none of it matters and, in fact, none of it even factors. You’re wholly preoccupied with the first real silence you’ve heard in days, weeks, years. Punctuated, at times, by the sound of your footsteps and your heartbeat and various environmental sounds like rockfall and running water. You’re Inside The Outside and moving across the topography with grace and style because you’ve found Comfort With Discomfort.

DONT’S

1. Accept velcro as the gold standard when it comes to Attachment Tech. It’s not. At best, the use of velcro is antiquated and entertaining for your friends.
2. Ever use pedal straps. For anything. Ever again.
3. Limit your creativity when it comes to ski straps. They are as versatile as you are. Know that. Feel that. Exploit that.
4. Replace all high quality zip ties with ski straps. There are still plenty of scenarios in which zip ties make more sense. But yeah, we get it, it DOES make sense to consider it.
5. Be a victim of Lash Tech.

The word mantra can be broken down into two parts: “man,” which means mind, and “tra,” which means transport or vehicle. In other words, a mantra is an instrument of the mind—a powerful sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation. Like a seed planted with the intention of blossoming into a beautiful perennial, a mantra can be thought of as a seed for energizing an intention.
