#009. This week, we begin a 2-part series on camaraderie. Camaraderie is one of the three big ideas of Tribesmen (along with manhood and freedom), and is what should characterize men as they interact in a group. Camaraderie is about adventuring together to form lasting bonds.

So, it’s fitting that we begin our series on camaraderie by talking about adventure. Manly friendships just aren’t all they can be without an element of adventure to them. 

Ask any man to describe some of his best memories with his friends, and they’ll almost always be about an adventure. We believe that’s because adventure does some pretty great things for a man’s soul, especially a group of men together

First, adventure unites us around shared experience. It creates a story to tell that men will rehash any time they are together with that same group of men. Second, adventure challenges us. Throw in a little bit of risk or danger, or even just the possibility of learning something we’ve never done before, and things get even better.

Third, it’s just plain fun! Most adult men don’t get a lot of fun in their lives, especially not with other men. But we need to simply play, to let our souls come alive.

We close by challenging you to find some buddies and just pick a small adventure to go do this weekend. Big or small, just make it happen. You’ll be glad you did, probably for years to come!
