So pleased to get my signed copy of Perseverance (US and UK Amazon links) from Stephan Kesting in the post today. I worked on an early draft of the book with Stephan.

I wasn’t expecting a thank you in the acknowledgment section but it was nice to see my name mentioned! It was a pleasure to help Stephan – I’ll go a long way to help a fellow member of the jiu-jitsu community who isn’t part of the awful Joe Rogan-inspired multiverse of antivax alt-right madness that afflicts so many in our sport.

The book is a great read about how to keep going when the going gets tough, and it was an incredible feat to take a solo 1,000 mile voyage through the Canadian North. I’m sure I’d have been dead by day three, even if I died without “silly errors, cliche, and repetitions”, I would still be dead.

An impressive adventure, my friend – both the book and the trip! If you like wilderness survival epics then get yourself a copy now.
