    Megan Hine Highlights Reel – Show Notes
    Introduction

    • The Adventure Diaries Podcast revisits season four highlights as a lead-up to season five.
    • This episode features memorable moments and lessons from survival expert Megan Hine.

    Megan’s Adventure Story

    • Megan recounts a tense experience building a rope bridge in a remote gorge, unexpectedly caught in crossfire between local tribes and rangers.
    • She describes the chaos, quick thinking, and eventual escape to safety, emphasizing the unpredictability of adventure.

    Survival Tips & Mindset

    • Megan explains the “Rule of Threes” for survival: 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
    • She adds her own: 3 months without company (for mental health) and 3 seconds without thinking (the importance of staying alert).
    • Introduces the STOP acronym: Stop, Think, Observe, Plan—useful for both wilderness and everyday life to avoid panic and make rational decisions.

    Adventure Mishaps

    • Megan shares a story about returning from Borneo with a parasite in her foot, and the creative (if gross) method she used to remove it.

    Call to Adventure

    • Listeners are encouraged to stop procrastinating and step out their front door—adventure can be found anywhere, even in city green spaces or by joining a local climbing wall.
    • The key message: Don’t let dreams stay dreams—take action!

  • Human Powered Northern Loop of the Earth: Katharina Kneip (Combing Art +Adventure)
    Nov 20 2025

    🎧 Follow the show here
    — it really helps Adventure Diaries reach more listeners. Thank you.

    Katharina Kneip is two and a half years into a human-powered and wind-powered northern loop of the Earth — walking, skiing and hitchhiking on sailboats across some of the most remote regions on the planet. In this conversation, she speaks from Nova Scotia while continuing her multi-year art project Round Motion, a slow, honest look at how people live on the edge of wild landscapes. Her story stretches from Germany to Arctic Norway, Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, Newfoundland and now mainland Canada — shaped by weather, chance encounters and the generosity of strangers.

    What You’ll Learn

    • How Round Motion blends long-form travel with contemporary art.
    • Life in the High North: polar night, sea ice, winter tenting and borderlands.
    • The realities of sailing early-season sea ice, storms and remote crossings.
    • How landscapes, politics and people shape the way she thinks about culture and nature.
    • Why this journey has no fixed story, no race and no heroics — just honest field experience.

    Guest Bio (short)

    Katharina Kneipp is a German artist walking, skiing and sailing a northern loop around the Earth as part of her ongoing project Round Motion. Her work focuses on slowness, field experience, borderlands, and how people live with weather, terrain and history.
