The Hyperconnected Wilderness: Cyber Assurance and Remote Operational Resilience

This white paper examines the unseen digital dependencies of modern wilderness operations, arguing that the cultural myth of remote isolation masks a dangerous reliance on hyperconnected systems. The author details how infrastructure like satellite communications, GPS, and cloud-based utilities has created a "perception-reality gap" that leaves operators vulnerable to technical failures and cyberattacks. By categorizing risks into technical, natural, and adversarial types, the text illustrates how a single digital outage can escalate into a life-threatening emergency in an environment with no analog backups. The source ultimately introduces the Wilderness Operational Resilience (WOR) Framework, providing a structured strategy to improve security through network segmentation, manual procedures, and digital sovereignty. This comprehensive guide serves as a call to action for risk officers and regulators to acknowledge and mitigate the vulnerabilities inherent in the connected wild.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Imagine uh you're at this $5,000 a night eco lodge high up in the Rocky Mountains.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

Oh, that sounds amazing right now.

SPEAKER_00 0:08

Right. You've hiked all day, you're sitting by a crackling fire in this rustic cabin, and you feel entirely off the grid.

SPEAKER_01 0:15

Just totally unplugged.

SPEAKER_00 0:16

Exactly. The air is crisp, there are absolutely no cell phone towers for 50 miles in any direction, and you have officially escaped modern civilization.

SPEAKER_01 0:26

But that's sort of the big illusion, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 0:28

It really is. Because what you don't know is that the electronic lock, keeping the bears out of your cabin, and well the climate control keeping your pipes from bursting.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

Let alone the ultraviolet filtration system purifying the water you're about to drink.

SPEAKER_00 0:41

Yeah. All of that is currently being managed by a cloud server sitting in some sterile, windowless data center in Virginia.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Which is wild to think about.

SPEAKER_00 0:50

And if a solar flare hits, or even if someone half a world away just pushes a bad line of code, that pristine, luxurious wilderness escape instantly becomes a life-threatening trap.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

It just completely shatters the illusion. We have this um deeply romanticized notion of the wild as a place to unplug. But the reality is that going off the grid today often requires the most sophisticated, hyperconnected grid imaginable.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

Welcome to the resilience brief. Today we are doing a deep dive into a truly eye-opening and frankly kind of alarming May 2026 white paper by Dr. Stephen Wilson.

SPEAKER_01 1:28

Yeah, it's titled Wilderness Resilience in a Hyperconnected World.

SPEAKER_00 1:31

And the mission for this deep dive is to really pull back the curtain on the invisible digital infrastructure that is currently hidden in the deep woods.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

Right. We're going to look at the psychological traps that completely blind us to the risks.

SPEAKER_00 1:43

And figure out what it actually takes to survive when the wilderness goes entirely dark. Okay, let's unpack this because we really have to shatter this cultural myth of the untouched wild and look at the sheer mechanics of how remote places function right now.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

Yeah, it's very different from what most people picture.

SPEAKER_00 1:58

I mean, I always thought a remote research station or a backcountry ski lodge was basically just a sturdy building, some firewood, and maybe like a ham radio.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

And that was totally true a few decades ago. But today, modern wilderness operations function a lot more like nodes in a global industrial network.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

Right.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

Think about a deep sea diver. The diver is physically immersed in the ocean, right? This hostile, raw environment.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Oh, I like this analogy.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Yeah, but they are only surviving because of a pressurized umbilical cord stretching all the way up to a ship on the surface. Dr. Wilson argues that remote facilities operate the exact same way.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

So it's this hyperconnected paradox.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Exactly. You, the guest, don't have a 5G signal on your personal phone, so you feel beautifully disconnected. But the facility itself relies on a massive invisible infrastructure stack to keep you alive.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

And the paper breaks this umbilical cord down into five distinct layers. Yeah. And when you look at how they interact, it really clicked for me how fragile the whole setup actually is.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Yeah, the dependency is staggering.

SPEAKER_00 3:02

You've got the foundational stuff at layer one, the physical buildings, the access roads, the diesel or solder generators out back. But what blew my mind is that almost none of this physical gear operates manually anymore. Aaron Powell Right.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

You don't just go out and pull a lever.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Exactly. It's entirely reliant on the layers above it.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Aaron Powell, which is why we have to look at layer two, which is the connectivity layer. You obviously can't run urban fiber optic cables to a glacier in Alaska or some remote peak in Montana. Aaron Powell Obviously not. So operators have to rely heavily on low Earth orbit satellite constellations like Starlink alongside traditional VHF radio networks.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

Aaron Powell That satellite connection is the actual air hose for our deep sea diver.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Trevor Burrus Right. It's constantly transmitting data back and forth to keep the facility operational.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Aaron Powell And what exactly are they pulling through that air hose? Well, that leads to operational technology or OT, which is layer three.

SPEAKER_01 3:54

Aaron Powell This is where it gets a bit technical, but it's so crucial.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

Aaron Powell Yeah, because I feel like most people understand basic IT, you know, laptops, Wi-Fi networks. But OT is a different beast entirely.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

Aaron Powell Totally different.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

From what I understand, operational technology is the digital brain that directly controls physical hardware. It's the SCADA system.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Yep. Supervisory control and data acquisition.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

Aaron Powell And for anyone wondering how a SCADA system actually works, it's basically an industrial control network. It reads data from a sensor and then sends an electrical signal to mechanically open or close a physical valve.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

That's a perfect way to describe it. In a remote wilderness context, OT isn't just sending emails, it's moving the physical world. Right. It's the automated system reading the ambient temperature outside and telling the physical boiler to kick in so the water pipes don't freeze and burst.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

Or the fire systems.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Exactly. It's the digital sensor network strapped to trees around the property, monitoring infrared light for the early signs of a wildfire.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

And the water, too.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

Yeah, it's the automated chemical mixing in the water treatment plant that ensures you don't get dysentery from the lodge's tap water.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

So you have physical hardware on the ground, a satellite connection shooting signals into space, and digital brains running the heavy machinery. Then on top of that, you have standard information technology at layer four.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

Because at the end of the day, an eco-lodge or a research outpost is still a business.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

Exactly. They use cloud-hosted reservation software to book your stay. They use internet-based HR and payroll systems to pay the guides.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

They use automated supply chain software to know exactly when to helicopter in more food and diesel.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

And the capstone of this entire stack, the fifth layer, is what Dr. Wilson calls external dependencies.

SPEAKER_01 5:41

These are the massive global third-party systems that the wilderness operator relies on entirely, but over which they have absolutely zero control.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Right. We're talking about Amazon Web Services, we're talking about GPS satellite constellations maintained by the military.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

And external weather data feeds from the National Weather Service.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

Aaron Powell This is where the diver metaphor gets incredibly scary to me. If AWS goes down, and we've all seen major internet outages happen, your ecolodge out in the middle of nowhere might suddenly lose the ability to unlock the electronic doors on the guest cabins.

SPEAKER_01 6:14

Or worse, lose the portal to request an emergency medical evacuation.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Aaron Powell Right. It's basically a modern smart home on steroids. But if my smart thermostat breaks in the suburbs, I'm annoyed, but you know, the geek squad is 10 minutes away and I can just drive to a hotel.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Yeah, you have a safety net.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

But if the automated water and climate systems fail in a backcountry lodge, you are entirely on your own.

SPEAKER_01 6:37

You are on your own in an environment that naturally wants to kill you through exposure, terrain, or wildlife.

SPEAKER_00 6:43

It's terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

And this raises an important question: why aren't the people building and running these remote outposts terrified?

SPEAKER_00 6:51

Seriously.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

If you are the manager of an off-grid resort and you are literally paying to install this massive stack of digital dependencies, how do you not see the glaring vulnerability you are creating?

SPEAKER_00 7:05

The answer in the paper is frankly fascinating because it's not about incompetence at all. It's deeply rooted in human psychology.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Yeah, we have this massive cultural blind spot when it comes to nature.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

The paper delves into the concept of cognitive dissonance. Both the operators running these places and the guests visiting them suffer from a shared cultural fiction.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

We really do.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

We are conditioned, I guess, going all the way back to the Romantic era and the early conservation movement of the 19th century, to view the wilderness as a sanctuary that is inherently insulated from technology.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

We fundamentally believe that because we are standing in the woods, the rules of the city simply don't apply.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

To explain why this is so dangerous, Dr. Wilson uses Paul Slovak's psychometric paradigm of risk perception. Slovic was a pioneer in psychology who proved that humans don't assess danger mathematically.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

We assess it emotionally.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Exactly. And he identified how we systematically distort risk based on two main factors, familiarity and dread.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

Let's break down familiarity because the example in the white paper really hit home for me. Picture an operator who has run a backcountry ski lodge for 30 years. They feel incredibly safe. Why? Because the mountains are familiar. The trees look the exact same, the snowfall feels the same. They trust their environment completely.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

But what they completely fail to recognize is that the technological substrate keeping them alive within that familiar environment has fundamentally changed over the last decade. Thirty years ago, they purified water by manually pouring iodine into a tank or boiling it over a wood stove. Today, an IP connected sensor on a microchip handles it.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

Which is completely invisible.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Exactly. Because the trees look the same, the operator falsely assumes the risk profile is the same. They think they know the woods, but the woods aren't running the life support systems anymore. A digital network is.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

It just completely bypasses their threat radar. And then there's the second factor, dread. As humans, we are hardwired to obsess over high dread risks.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

If you ask a tourist or even a seasoned guide what they fear most in the deep wilderness, they will immediately give you high dread answers. Bear attacks, violent crime, avalanches.

SPEAKER_01 9:17

Yes, events that evoke a visceral primal terror. But statistically, those are incredibly low probability events.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Right.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Meanwhile, we completely ignore low dread risks that have a much, much higher probability of actually occurring.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Like a server crash.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

Right. A cloud service outage at an East Coast data center or a corrupted firmware update being pushed to a satellite dish does not evoke a primal sense of dread.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

No, you don't lay awake in your sleeping bag sweating over an expired SSL certificate on your water filtration software.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Exactly. What's fascinating here is how this individual cognitive bias scales up into a massive organizational failure.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

How so?

SPEAKER_01 9:54

Well, when nobody perceives the digital threat as real in a wilderness setting, nobody plans for it. You don't have emergency grills for a cyber crisis in the woods, because culturally, nobody believes a cyber crisis belongs in the woods.

SPEAKER_00 10:09

It's like worrying about a shark attack in the Sahara Desert. It just doesn't compute.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 10:14

So because they are psychologically blind to their digital dependencies, these operators are totally unprepared when the invisible web actually snaps. And we aren't just dealing with abstract theoretical threats here.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

No, these are very real.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

The paper categorizes the specific ways this infrastructure can fail into natural and adversarial risks. And if I'm running a remote lodge, I might think my biggest threat is a hacker in a basement somewhere. But isn't Mother Nature actually the ultimate hacker here?

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Mother Nature is absolutely the most potent threat to that connectivity layer. Dr. Wilson points specifically to space weather and electromagnetic pulses, or EMPs, caused by solar flares.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

The paper mentions the Carrington event of 1859. I've heard of this, but it's usually framed as a historical curiosity. It was a massive geomagnetic storm, right? It was. Back then it just made telegraph wires skark and catch fire because that was really the only electrical tech we had. But explain the mechanics here. What actually happens if a Carrington-level event hits us today?

SPEAKER_01 11:14

So a severe solar storm sends a massive cloud of charged particles crashing into the Earth's magnetic field. This creates what are called geomagnetically induced currents. Okay. Basically, it forces massive amounts of electrical current through anything that conducts electricity. It affects power grids on the ground, but it is devastating to the delicate circuitry of satellites in orbit. Oh wow. If a Karenkin level event happens today, it physically fries the electronics inside those low Earth orbit satellites and military GPS constellations instantly.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

So if you are running a remote research camp and you've thrown away your paper maps and your old school analog radios because you assumed your satellite internet was bulletproof.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

You are suddenly utterly blind and deaf.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

Man, you have no navigation, no comms, and no warning.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

And closer to Earth, we have physical environmental threats like wildfires. This creates a deeply vicious feedback loop.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Yeah, the paper emphasized this heavily.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

It emphasizes how climate change is driving more severe wildfires right into the areas where these remote operations exist. The paradox is that a wildfire will often destroy the very communications towers, fiber optic lines, and power poles needed to coordinate the emergency response to that exact same wildfire.

SPEAKER_00 12:27

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

The emergency that most requires your communication support is the one actively melting it down.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Okay, so Mother Nature can literally unplug you by force. But then we have to talk about malicious actors, the adversarial risks.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Right, the human element.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

The paper references a real-world event from February 2022, the Viasat KAS8 attack. This happened right at the start of the war in Ukraine. It was a nation-state cyber attack that disrupted satellite communications across Europe.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

And this highlights a critical reality for wilderness operations. You don't have to be the target to be the victim. Right. A foreign military or a state-sponsored hacking group doesn't care about a luxury eco-lodge in the Pacific Northwest. But they do care deeply about taking down satellite networks to disrupt military logistics.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

And because the wilderness operator is renting space on that exact same satellite network, they become collateral damage in a geopolitical cyber war. They might just be collateral damage in a cyber war, but they are absolutely the primary targets for cyber criminals.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Well, without a doubt.

SPEAKER_00 13:28

The paper specifically calls out ransomware as a service, or Ray has. Hackers actively target these off-grid operations. They know an exclusive eco resort has incredibly high revenue, wealthy clients, and crucially, absolutely zero dedicated IT staff on site.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Exactly. It's probably the lodge manager resetting the router and plugging in the firewalls when things go wrong. It's the definition of low-hanging fruit.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

And ransomware is just locking up data to extract money. The stakes escalate dramatically when you look at attacks on operational technology. That OT layer controlling the physical machinery we discussed earlier.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

This is the stuff of nightmares.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

The paper points to the 2021 cyber attack on the water treatment plant in Old Mar, Florida. Hackers breached the system and literally tried to increase the amount of sodium hydroxide lye in the city's drinking water to poisonous levels.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

It's horrific.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

That is terrifying. But in Florida, you have hospitals 10 minutes away. If you poison the water supply of a remote wilderness lodge and simultaneously knock out their satellite connections so they can't call for an emergency helicopter.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

That's a mass casualty event waiting to happen.

SPEAKER_00 14:38

Exactly. But here's where it gets really interesting, because as I was reading this, I thought, wait a minute, these remote sensor networks and control boxes are physically out in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't that extreme isolation make them harder to hack? I mean, you literally can't get to them easily.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

You'd think so, but it is completely the opposite that isolation is their biggest vulnerability.

SPEAKER_00 15:00

Wait, really?

SPEAKER_01 15:01

Yes, it makes them highly susceptible to what we call physical cyber attacks.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

Explain this to me. So you're telling me a hacker doesn't even need to bypass a complex firewall over the internet.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Exactly. Think about an urban data center. It has armed guards, biometric locks, security cameras, and reinforced concrete walls.

SPEAKER_00 15:21

Right, it's a fortress.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

Now think about an automated weather station, a solar array, or a water purity sensor for a remote lodge. It's sitting entirely unguarded on a mountaintop or deep in a forest somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

A bad actor can literally put on a pair of hiking boots, walk right up to the equipment, pry open the plastic casing with a screwdriver, and plug a malicious USB drive directly into the control board.

SPEAKER_00 15:43

Oh wow. They physically bypass the entire cybersecurity perimeter.

SPEAKER_01 15:48

Yes. Once they plug into that remote sensor, they have a direct back door into the lodge's central network.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

That is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 15:57

And the isolation of the wilderness gives the attacker unlimited, uninterrupted time to compromise the hardware without anyone ever noticing.

SPEAKER_00 16:05

Okay, so the threat landscape is incredibly grim. We've basically built these invisible, fragile glass houses deep in the woods, and both solar flares and hackers are throwing stones at them.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

That's a precarious situation.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Now, obviously, we can't just throw all the laptops into the river and go back to the 1800s. The operational advantages of this technology, coordinating logistics, predicting weather, saving lives in routine emergencies, they're just too great.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

We are definitely not going backward.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

So how do we adapt? How do we actually survive when the system inevitably fails?

SPEAKER_01 16:35

This is where Dr. Wilson introduces the concept of digital sovereignty and the wilderness operational resilience framework, or warr. But to understand why this framework is so urgently necessary, we have to look at the psychological human element. What actually happens to the human mind when these digital systems abruptly fail under extreme stress?

SPEAKER_00 16:56

This was the most gripping part of the paper for me, the cosmological episode. It's a terrifying concept.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

It really is. It's a term from organizational psychology, drawn heavily from Karl Weich's famous 1993 analysis of the man gulch disaster.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Right, the firefighters.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Yes. Back in 1949, a team of highly trained smoke jumpers parachuted into a Montana Valley to fight a wildfire. But the fire suddenly blew up and cut off their escape route. In a matter of minutes, as they ran for their lives, their leadership structure, their communication, and their entire understanding of the situation completely collapsed.

SPEAKER_00 17:30

Well, they just lost it.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

They lost their fundamental sense of reality and their ability to make sense of the world around them. That total disintegration of sense making is a cosmological episode. Thirteen men died because their mental models of the world shattered.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

And Dr. Wilson argues that a total digital failure in the modern wilderness can trigger the exact same psychological collapse today.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Take a modern wilderness guide leading a group through the backcountry in a blizzard. Their entire mental model of survival is offloaded to a digital tablet. They are staring at a glowing blue dot on a GPS map to know exactly where they are.

SPEAKER_01 18:08

They are relying on a satellite messenger to know how fast the weatherfront is moving.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Now, freeze the iPad, kill a satellite signal.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

If that guide hasn't maintained their analog skills, their reality instantly shatters. They experience a cosmological episode. They don't know where they are, they don't know what the weather's doing, and they panic.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

Because the digital tool wasn't just an accessory.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

No, it was their entire cognitive framework for understanding the woods.

SPEAKER_00 18:32

So how do you stop that from happening?

SPEAKER_01 18:34

By enforcing what the war framework calls resilience by design, it demands intentional analog backups. Okay. It is not enough to just buy a second internet connection and call it a day. Operators must intentionally maintain and relentlessly practice old school offline skills.

SPEAKER_00 18:51

We are talking about paper maps, compass navigation, manual water purification protocols using chemical drops or boiling.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

Even something as simple as running the front desk of the lodge with a physical clipboard and a ledger book.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

Right. Reclaiming your digital sovereignty means you shouldn't be so hyperdependent on a cloud server in Virginia that you lose the physical ability to filter drinking water in Montana.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

It really sounds like the paper is advocating for a form of digital prepping or practicing strategic autonomy.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

That's a good way to put it.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

It's like you can absolutely enjoy the convenience of the cloud. You can love the high-speed satellite Wi-Fi when the sun is shining. But as an operator, you must have the rigorous discipline to run your entire facility with a clipboard, a hand crank radio, and a physical map at a moment's notice. You have to literally rehearse the dark ages.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

If we connect this to the bigger picture, we aren't just talking about business continuity here. We aren't talking about keeping the lights on so guests don't complain and ask for a refund. We are talking about fundamental life safety. You are existing in an environment that actively wants to kill you.

SPEAKER_00 20:00

Nature doesn't care.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

It doesn't. Your digital systems are the only thing holding that harsh nature at bay. If you cannot manually override and operate those systems when the digital brain dies, you are no longer a wilderness operator. You are just a hostage to your own technology.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

So what does this all mean? The next time you go hiking or backcountry skiing or you check into a beautiful off-grid eco resort to finally disconnect, you need to look around differently. Definitely. You need to realize that your safety isn't guaranteed just by the ruggedness of your wilderness guide or the thickness of the cabin walls. Your safety is deeply tied to an invisible digital thread. A thread stretching from a tiny sensor on a water pipe in the forest, up to a low Earth orbit satellite hurtling through space and down to a server farm thousands of miles away.

SPEAKER_01 20:47

The completely unplugged wilderness is an illusion. We are hyper-connected everywhere, all the time. The real question is whether we are going to acknowledge and govern that connection responsibly, or if you're going to wait for a catastrophic systemic failure to wake us up.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

It really forces you to rethink the future of the entire outdoor industry. Which leaves me with a final provocative thought for you to ponder. Let's hear it. We know the basic analog skills are degrading globally. Fewer and fewer people know how to triangulate a position on a paper map or navigate by the stars or build a shelter from scratch.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

That's very careful.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

As those analog skills vanish, what if the ultimate, most expensive luxury wilderness vacation of the future isn't the one with the fastest high-speed satellite Wi-Fi? Yeah. What if the ultimate luxury is an eco resort that can cryptographically prove to you that it has absolutely zero digital connections to the outside world, a place where the staff is completely physically self sufficient? Will true, analog wilderness survival become the rarest, most expensive commodity on Earth?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

It's a brilliant question. When total disconnection becomes virtually impossible by accident, it will become incredibly valuable by design.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

Something to chew on the next time you head out. Into the deep woods. Thank you for joining us for this deep dive on the resilience brief. Stay safe out there, stay resilient, and we'll catch you next time.
