Day 269 - Beyond the Myths of Piracy

I am about ready to head out on an adventure. Once a year, I take a wilderness expedition with some family and friends. I am a fan of backpacking in permit-free wilderness areas, often off-trail, often in the open wilderness with no other ambition than to get lost for a while. I find the ability to disconnect from the world a powerful tool to reground myself and help me remember what is important. Since I will not be able to easily post articles, record videos, and the like, I have decided to create a series on the lessons that I have learned by studying pirate crews.
