I love your story already, can't wait for the book! Q: Do you think you'll raise your own family in the future similar to how you were raised? What are (if any) some things you wished you'd learnt about before traveling? (having come from an isolated life as such?) How do you feel looking back on your life and your accomplishments? When your in a difficult, lonely or scary situation what do you tell you self? Or how do you manage your mental or physical situations. It would be cool to include the above in your book!

Lol at your Dad/Mums response.... “what about Mars?”.... I guess that’s one place that needs exploring 😀

I’d definitely read it Chris! So many questions ... but I’d like to know if you ever resented your parents for choosing such an alternative beginning to your life...and in those moments, how did you navigate your thoughts... can’t wait!!!

We often read how indigenous cultures have an almost spiritual connection with their natural homelands. Given most of modern humanity has lost this connection did your lifestyle at Gorge River help retain this connection to any extent?

Ok! I will certainly write about Antarctica

Oh and I’d definitely like to read more about Antarctica and also more practical chapter maybe about challenges and surviving in the isolation, I guess unique homesteading tips? I’ve only ever lived in cities but some kind of isolated life is in my future plans and would love to know what to expect and how to prepare. I have a friend that used to live on a small island with only6 other people and his life there was really fascinating

I want to know the inner workings of your mind based on your upbringing. How you make decisions, your thoughts on life, what is stress to you and how you cope. How do you deal with materialism and what do you seem important in life

interested in your barefoot adventure at Gorge River. Have your feet got soft with your overseas adventure, do you have to work to keep your fitness, did you eat possums at Gorge River in your young days and do you have your own diet?? Keep up the good work Chris, i have followed the whole family since the first Ben Fogle series and absolutely love your progress in life and all adventures . GOOD luck and take care.

Haha good questions, Yes I have eated possum a couple of times. YEs for sure my feet have become softer because its not easy to wear bear feet elsewear, especially in Antarctica and the Arctic. And lastly I find it very easy to keep my fitness, i am very lucky for that. After 3 months living on a yacht in the Arctic not doing anything very physical I came home and walked from Big Bay to Gorge RIver in my record time.

Book sounds like a great project

I'll buy it, will be great as a bedtime read for my daughters

Not a big reader of books, but when I come across a good one, I’ll read until I’m over reading for another year. I would certainly invest in your successful book, then pass it on to my Grandchildren to read, so that they possibly could be inspired by your Life so far. Of course they’ll have to leave Brisbane & their Mothers, to venture on. :-)
