Megan Hine Highlights Reel – Show Notes
Introduction

  • The Adventure Diaries Podcast revisits season four highlights as a lead-up to season five.
  • This episode features memorable moments and lessons from survival expert Megan Hine.

Megan’s Adventure Story

  • Megan recounts a tense experience building a rope bridge in a remote gorge, unexpectedly caught in crossfire between local tribes and rangers.
  • She describes the chaos, quick thinking, and eventual escape to safety, emphasizing the unpredictability of adventure.

Survival Tips & Mindset

  • Megan explains the “Rule of Threes” for survival: 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
  • She adds her own: 3 months without company (for mental health) and 3 seconds without thinking (the importance of staying alert).
  • Introduces the STOP acronym: Stop, Think, Observe, Plan—useful for both wilderness and everyday life to avoid panic and make rational decisions.

Adventure Mishaps

  • Megan shares a story about returning from Borneo with a parasite in her foot, and the creative (if gross) method she used to remove it.

Call to Adventure

  • Listeners are encouraged to stop procrastinating and step out their front door—adventure can be found anywhere, even in city green spaces or by joining a local climbing wall.
  • The key message: Don’t let dreams stay dreams—take action!
