How to Live Like a Modern Day True Explorer

If you enjoy exploration, then you will definitely have an admiration for the modern day explorers of our time. Of them, my personal favourite is the motivational speaker, author, television host, oh and I should probably include the title holder of the youngest Brit to climb Mount Everest, Bear Grylls. Many of his adventures have been televised, and while that can be very exciting to watch the best news is that now you can do more than just watch him push himself to the limits.

Wait for it, wait for it. He has announced that in August of this year he will be leading an expedition to the Northwest Passage in a rigid inflatable boat. It will be a long gruelling journey, he does not need to point that out, for he would not bother with something mundane and convenient. That is not what this former member of the UK Special Forces is all about.

What does this mean for the likes of we mere mortals who aspire to test our own fortitude, a lot. There is at least one company that is recreating this journey over the course of twelve days. Well, that is in a much larger boat and probably with many more safety precautions in place. But if you have been dreaming of living life like a true explorer, this is your chance.
