trouble. He joined the Navy Seals, where death was a constant. Josh
would drink to celebrate the life of his fallen friends, but this

Josh realized that the best way to honor the dead was to embark on
an outdoor adventure that would amplify their memory. He realized
he had to live for those he had lost. Learn more about your
