    Default Nat Geo article on veteran's 1000-mile ride

    http://adventureblog.nationalgeograp...y-recovery-15/
    Green Beret and Army Veteran Ray Knell was a broken man with PTSD and severe anxiety when he returned home from Afghanistan. His trust in humans was gone. A friend introduced him to backcountry horsemanship and the wilderness and animal relationship gave him hope and peace of mind. To inspire others to use wilderness and horses to overcome their struggles, Knell embarked on a 1,000-mile ride along the Continental Divide with Mustang Sally and his two mules, Top Gun and Magic. Filmmaker Ben Masters joined Knell through Yellowstone to see the grandeur of our country’s first national park and to witness the importance of conserving wilderness to heal ourselves.

    I wish that guy posted on here. So I could personally tell him that this is a repost.

    We got his side of the ride here. What I was linking was the fact that it got coverage in a NON-gun source like Nat Geo.

    I suspected. It SHOULD get that kind of coverage.

    If you have Apple TV you can find a short video under the Featured Clips under the featured tab on Nat Geo.

    Congrats on the ride and I am looking forward to watching the whole video, congrats again!
