      @Lucas Akame Adventuring is not so hard to start and not nearly as expensive as you might think. sure going far abroad can be expensive with out the proper finance arrangements... but honestly walking out your front door into the world at large is a helluva allot more to do with courage than it is price. if you don't want to do the exotic you can always do local things, you'd be surprised at the experiences & discoveries you can make. everyone and i'm sure Brian Blessed himself had to start small somewhere. i took a coastal walk around the entire Isle of Man (about 75km) 5 years ago and the only expenses i had were the camping gear (£200-300) the ship ticket from Liverpool (£30-50) and the camp site rents (£20-30)
      planning on going upto the Scottish Cairngorms soon and i honestly don't expect my budget to go over £150 just try to get someone to go along with... going alone is kinda depressing.

In a genre which is rich and very interested in such character types without having to rely on some media figure. Aside from it not being similar, except in some shallow conceited twat's way...

    If anyone is interested in a *_wonderful_* book that revolves around dog-sledding, i highly recommend Gary Paulsen's _Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod._
    My ex's sister & a friend of hers always exchanged their best read of the year as Christmas gifts. She was given _Winterdance._ And she just didn't get it, so she gave it to her brother (my ex) because when we'd first met, he had a Malamute-husky cross, so she thought maybe _he'd_ get more out of it.
    Now, LC is not really a reader.
    But he read the book and in record time.
    I had to threaten him to keep him from reading bits outloud to me: "I *_will_* read it when you're finished with it. But you're going to ruin it if you keep reading me the good bits."
    He finished it within a week partly because he was so anxious for me to read it.
    I cried the whole book.
    I don't really have a family. I have a combination pack-clowder-herd-flock-bevy. I cried because every page was either _that_ funny or so poignant & hit so close to Home....
    I had the book with me at work - I worked at the Teaching / "Public" Hospital & i was assigned (what was essentially) the Emergency Room for pregnant women. It was a fairly quiet night - which was unusual - and for some quirk, we had five women that needed extensive fætal monitoring. That part of the room was set up kinda like a ward.
    My partner was also a reader & we sat at the station reading our books. You don't even realize you're hearing the beep of the fætal monitors til one begins deceling. So to the outsider, it'd've looked like we were ignoring these 5 women, but any glitch and we dropped everything to check on it. And every 20 minutes we'd get up & check the monitor strips, take vital signs. Around 10 -10:30, we turned the lights down some, so the patients could rest.
    Only i kept giggling.
    I'm _not_ a giggler.
    My partner would look at me. I'd apologize. Then i'd tell enough of the story to catch her up to where the lines would make sense and i'd read a paragraph or two.
    A page, maybe two later, it'd happen again.
    So finally she just closes her book and i'm reading _Winterdance_ outloud to her.
    A couple of hours into this, we had a patient come in needing to be evaluated. I start to put my book down, but Tessa said NO. "I've got this & i'll holler if i need you. You read ahead so you can stay composed enough to read it when i get back. Don't lose my place." She grabs her stethoscope & heads to an exam room with the patient.
    I start back reading, only silently now.
    And one of the patients says: "No! Don't make us wait til she gets back! I want to know what happens next!" The other four start in, asking me to keep going. I had no idea they were even _listening._ So we compromised. When Tessa finished admitting the patient who had come in, we moved my chair where the patients in the monitor beds could hear better, & i started reading again.
    One of the patients finished her monitoring time and we discharged her. She asked if she _had_ to leave, or could she stay & listen a while longer.
    I read that book for 8 of a 12 hour shift.
    Each woman had me write down the author & name before i left.
    One of my very favorite nights, really.
