Episode 142 The 72 Hour Backcountry Reset

This episode explores why time in the backcountry can improve how we function beyond recreation. Ryan Jordan describes how modern life overloads attention through constant interruptions and unfinished obligations, then walks through staged benefits of nature exposure from minutes to months. He argues that 72 hours is the first reliable breakpoint where effects persist after returning, framing backcountry time as preventive maintenance rather than escape.
