THE WILL TO SURVIVE - with Dyana Carmella - Part II

She evaded Wolves, stayed clear of Grizzly Bears, endured the most extreme of weather and landscape conditions. Dyana Carmella joins America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, to complete her emotional and inspirational journey through 1200 miles and 71 days solo on the Pacific Northwest Trail. Though she doesn't want her mother to hear this, she now admits that she should've died multiple times. The power of the human spirit is greater than we even know until we are tested and have no option to fail. We are so used to our comfortable first world life, with all the amenities, that we are never faced with the obstacles that will truly show us the great feats that humans are capable. Once you tap into your potential, you will never fear anything again. She found her appreciation for simple things like food, at one point in her journey having ran out and forced to starve and only live off wild berries in the middle of nowhere. She reminds us that we don't need much to live a happy life. On the contrary, its the gluttony and over indulgence that actually makes us unhealthy and unhappy. Mother Nature is real, her energy omniscient and power unwavering. Once you become one with that source, it will change your life forever.
