Death – Spoiler Alert – is coming for us all. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day everyone you’ve ever known will be just another notch on the Grim Reaper’s scoreboard. It’s inevitable. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Unless your first name happens to be Superman, or Legolas, death is quite simply unavoidable.

Does that mean you should you go out like a damp candle? Or fade into the background like a boring song at a boring dinner party? No. It does not. The great explorers of our time didn’t die in a hospital ward; they died doing what they loved, out there in the wilderness.

Despite what Bruce Willis would have you believe, dying has never been easier. It’s just that there are so many safety precautions these days that many of us have forgotten how to do it. Well, here’s a reminder.
