After seeing more and more people join in on this outdoor fitness craze, I decided to try it for 30 days. While backpacking in the Adirondacks last year, I listened to The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter.As I scrambled up the trail’s slick rocks, trying my hardest not to fall before reaching the summit of Nippletop, Easter warned me about a different danger: the eradication of discomfort.Sure, the amenities of modern life, such as cars, on-demand food, and temperature-controlled environments, ease our daily lives, but he argued they also erode satisfaction and fulfillment by depriving us of fundamental human skills and experiences.
