Well, it was back in '24 when Adam up and sold all his possessions and moved out west to the Rockies to live off the land as a trapper and all around mountain man since he already felt that he had the beard for it. Josh began training to accomplish his lifelong pursuit to fight a bear in a sumo match. As for Jason, well he decided to sail around the world solo in an inflatable kiddie pool. Why'd they do such things? Some say that they were crazy. Others say they was bored. Still, some believe that they were just plumb stupid. Turns out that they were all those things. Plus, they wanted to prepare to talk about movies concerning man vs. nature like Project Grizzly, The Revenant, All Is Lost, Jerimiah Johnson, and Never Cry Wolf. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brickedpit/message
