Main Theme
Our minds are conditioned to create chaos. They often convince us to quit long before we reach our goals. Unless we can gain awareness and interrupt these "chaos" scripts early, they will consume our thoughts and drive us towards decisions we will regret. This book will give you the ability to open your awareness, apply several tools to calm the chaos, and increase the momentum towards your goals. Regardless if you are a long-distance hiker, SOF operator, extreme athlete, first responder, medical specialist, parent, student, or just a human being, this book will enable you to tame your mind so you can savor whatever journey you find yourself on.

Background
People love the thought of breaking the shackles of their Matrix life and going for a long-distance hike. I do, too. There is something primal about strapping on a pack filled with only the necessities and going on a long walk. I think it’s coded somewhere deep inside our DNA. Hiking seems to be a perfect means to create a union between the natural world and the human soul. We were meant to be in nature, not confined to the safety and comfort of our Matrix lives. If we can become still enough, we can hear the whispers of the mountains calling us to their soil.

I became addicted to thru-hiking because it uncovered parts of me I didn’t know existed. It took me to deeper levels of awareness and fulfillment that seemed inaccessible before the experience. However, like all good things in life, this growth was only accessible through suffering and sacrifice. To absorb the true lessons in life, we must confront the main impediment standing in our way - our chaotic minds.

Stats show that roughly three out of every four thru-hikers quit their journeys short of their intended goal, and I argue it is because they couldn’t handle their chaotic minds in this new environment. This is a statistic I want to help change.

Our minds tether us to the parts of life that no longer serve us. It limits our growth and our ability to find contentment in our lives. When we are alone with our minds for hours, days, weeks, and months on trail, we fall prey to its conditioned patterns nudging us to seek safety and comfort. At the first sign of pain and struggle, our mind tries to convince us to return to our comfortable life inside the Matrix. It tries to keep us safe at the expense of our growth and fulfillment.

We must learn how to strengthen our minds so we can adapt more quickly and efficiently once our long-distance journey begins. That’s where this book comes in. It’s complementary to previous works on the mental side of long-distance hiking, but we will dive a little deeper underneath the hood to reveal why our mental struggle happens in the first place. If we can gain awareness of why these struggles happen, then we can learn to use some basic strategies to decrease the mental chaos and increase our forward momentum.

This book is not just for hikers. It’s for anyone undertaking a long-duration journey where the mind will inject itself as the biggest obstacle in our path. It could be during a military deployment, during an ultramarathon, attending a sports training camp, enduring an assessment and selection course for special operations, entering a police or military training academy, grappling with a large project at work, enduring the challenges of parenthood, or any other journey where our minds become the largest hurdle on the way to our goals.

It's time to break free of the fetters that keep you clinging to safety and comfort. It’s time to find the part of you that is waiting to be discovered. It’s time to learn how to keep pushing north towards the things you dream about but haven’t been able to reach.

Well done! Thank you. Interesting book that utilizes experience of a long journey and helps incorporate lessons in everyday life!

ER approach to life is Refreshing

There are a ton of books about mental resiliency and a plethora of advice for people pursuing difficult tasks that essentially amounts to “Just don’t quit.”

Not quitting is an end result, not a process. This book is the how-to guide, and perfect for anyone with a fixed mindset belief that mental resiliency is a trait you either have or don’t.

An Invaluable Guide

Book:
I found this book after finding ER71s YouTube channel, AFTER watching his Ones Ready interview. I originally intended to listen to this book for tips to assist me in my journey through the military. And I found what I was looking for and more. this is a book for life. From Thru Hiking to sitting in traffic, this book is a manual to over coming internal struggle. The Narrator is okay, I found myself drowning out his voice at times and had to rewind the portion that I blanked out on. Also, I had initially thought the narrator was a text to speech robot because of his seemingly inhuman enunciation. Even still I rate the book 5/5. Thank you for sharing.

Personal:
I originally looked at Mr. Free as a Cadre of a highly selective process. Now, after finishing this book (and I'm on episode 52 of his AT hike) I found that I resonate with the lessons he shares and his personality. My perspective of what it means to be in SOF has completely changed, I thought my personality wouldn't fit what they are looking for, and perhaps it doesn't, but if Mr. Free can reach the pinnacle of the career field, I don't see why I can't do a fraction of that.

Great book that describes the mental preparedness needed to hike the AT or to accomplish other major task in one’s life.

None better than this

Listened to this book on a train down to Georgia to start my 2024 AT NOBO thru hike. The advice shared in this book really hit home for me and made my 2197.4 mile journey easier by upping my mental game. Getting to hike the AT was such a life changing experience but starting the trail with the advice from this book really made it that more enjoyable even in the most challenging times. It’s amazing what your body will do if you’re mentally equipped to handle what lies ahead.

Went with No expectations

Author Trey Free, a Thru-hiker on the AT and a former Special Forces operator walks us through the mind games of long duration tasks like hiking 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine. He uses imagery to analyze the forces which guide our actions both good and bad. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is planning an extended event such as a Thru-hike.

An interesting perspective on what it takes to finish. Same content and themes as Appalachian Trials by Zach Davis, but newer and you can get this one on Audible.

Good book, helpful, duplicates Appalachian Trials.

Hiking the Appalachian Trail this year and this was exactly what I needed for the mental prep. If you are looking for a book about the trail or hiking in general this is not it. This is about the mental aspect of facing a challenge, mental, physical or both and using your mind to hack your brain and your emotions to get through the hard parts and even parts that seem impossible at the time.

Great book for anyone facing a challenge
