I spend my days fixing escalators, which is all about diagnosing problems and finding precise solutions. But when I’m out in the backcountry helping folks recover from tough hikes or injuries, the approach is totally different. The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that sometimes the best way to help someone heal is to step back and let them find their own pace. You can have all the right gear and knowledge, but if you push too hard, it can set them back. Has anyone else found that recovery in the wild teaches you more about patience than any trail map ever could? I’m curious what unexpected insights you’ve all picked up.
