It doesn’t take much to be happy - you just have to know what it is that you want.

Saying ‘yes’ to things that I know are going to make me really uncomfortable… I think it keeps you ticking.

The dollars that you pay at a local outfitter are directly going back to their family, their home, their schools, local shops… and that’s really important.
