Living With Mongolian Nomads | Best Job Ever

i’m in mongolia to discover what it
means to be a modern-day no matter
wrestling is traditional in Mongolia you
know was it physically difficult yes was
I scared
yes did I lose I was slaughtered what
made it special was at the end of that
whole day I had this man speaking to me
in mongolian and sharing his
philosophies of life you need to be able
to ride on horseback to be a nomad
children learn to do this literally in
many cases before they even learned to
walk I’ve never been on a horse in my
life
there was no instructions it was get on
your horses and go in that moment it
felt like there was no separation
between myself the horse the earth the
land the culture it all blended into one
and I will remember that for the rest of
my life
Mongolian life is extremely difficult
but you don’t hear a lot of complaining
I don’t even think they would define it
in those terms as hard or difficult it
was just life could I survive as a nomad
for more than a month well definitely
not but just a glimpse into their
experience will help to dissolve the
wall between our self and others we can
walk away feeling that this Mongolian
wrestler this Mongolian herdsmen or
nomads is just like us Marty and I set
out on an expedition to make the first
print and interactive maps of Patagonia
National Park to give people and on the
ground perspective of what is like to
stand in the park itself
