I learned a lot about trusting people and equipment while being introduced to the joys of Abseiling at Outward Bound in the UK many summers ago. regards mark mcclure tokyo Great story – I figured you’d try the Cliffhanger retrieval approach since I’ve read a ton of your LifeReboot posts before landing on ptb.

Secondly, you didn't get to many "Gravely Runs" in your life did you? Zip lines and all, there is a reason you guys forgot to mention the private property or no trespassing signs that you probably passed without notice as you bombarded your way through the Jersey outback. You should have tried with the towels first before the tow rope. Thirdly if you sold everything you owned then how did you blog about this boring life experience??? Obviously you still value materialistic things more than life or you wouldn't be posting on the internet (the most materialistic item of all). Rethink your words next time wannabe Buddha.

What a great story! It was very vivid, not to mention riveting to make an excellent point. How true we put a price on things, forgetting how much more our lives are worth. Your story reminded me of a bunch of suits I have from my Wall Street days. They are still sitting in the closet even though they don't fit me! Why? Because I tend to think, "Well, I paid $350 or $500 for that suit!" Amazing. You just reminded me to go in that closet and give away those suits that no longer fit me, regardless of how much I paid for them! Shaun:

Sometimes, it doesn't even have to be something as evidently threatening. There are so many other times when we choose to sit around and be lazy when we could be out really experiencing all the world has to offer. It's so sad and I hope it's something we can all take to heart. Thanks again for sharing! It’s actually amazing how easily we take life for granted.

It reminds me of stories I've heard of people committing suicide because of financial difficulties. I've had money troubles of my own, and it's introduced some pretty dark thoughts, but one must realize there's nothing on earth - no gadget or sack of money or escape from creditors - worth trading your life for. I hope your message reaches the people who need it in time. Even on a smaller scale - but more common scenario - many people waste their lives in jobs they hate because they're in debt for crap they don't need or may not even own anymore. Is living a depressing life in service to your debt or your stuff any better than risking your life for a $50 rope? You're a wise man, Shaun, and your message is much appreciated.
