Trail Therapy: The Legend of Mick Dodge



On Tuesday January 7, 2014, National Geographic is airing a new series called "The Legend of Mick Dodge."  The opening description of Dodge, "part warrior, part philosopher and part survivalist," only starts to depict the excitement awaiting viewers from this new reality show.

Mick Dodge grew up exploring the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State and was taught by his grandfather, the ways of the forest.  Dodge grew up with a respect for life in the wild and a passion for experiencing the balance of nature.  Although his time spent in the Marines trained him in man-to-man combat, he uses his skills solely for survival as he lives happily alongside his animal friends.

Mick stated his new life the way we all start our lives; barefoot.  "My feet became my map; my feet became my compass."  Mick's 'back to the beginning' mentality speaks to all of us adventurers.  We all seek a more primal way of life that holds health and tranquility in the balance with nature.  I'm excited to see what this show has to offer.  So tune in at 10PM on January 7th on the National Geographic Channel to find what drives Mick Dodge to live his primitive life.
