Kidnapped, drinking urine and the mindset to survive with Explorer CHAZ POWELL

What are the mindset of a man that during his ‘The Wildest Journey’ expeditions was facing kidnapping, hunger and near death whilst coming face to face with and overcoming some of the most difficult challenges life could throw at him? What can you learn from it? How can you implement that kind of mindset in your everyday life?

 

Chaz was awarded with the honorary title of ‘Explorer of the Year 2021’ by the Scientific Exploration Society

After exploring and hiking the globe for the last two decades. Chaz now lives his life as an Explorer, Expedition Leader, Bushcraft Instructor and Ranger.

 

His project ‘The Wildest Journey’ is all about his journeys by foot along Africa's wildest rivers, with an aim to raise awareness for wildlife conservation and anti poaching. In 2016/17 Chaz spent 137 days walking over 3000km from source to sea along the Zambezi River, and in 2019 spent 47 days walking 1120km from source to sea along the Gambia river and in the same year leading a small team for 800km over 29 days from east to west across Madagascar whilst walking source to sea along the country's longest river, The Mangoky.

Being kidnapped

Meeting a black mamba

Near death experience

How it is to try living a "normal" life

And lots more!

Enjoy!
