I had never fasted for more than a day, until New Years of 2005 when I spent 10 days in Death Valley, with two guides and about 9 others, camping and eventually spending 3 days alone in the back country, 3 days which were a part of a 4 and 1/2 day stint without any food. I know it’s a little crazy. I spent 4 and one half days fasting, which is 108 hours, definitely the longest I’ve ever imagined spending. But it was much easier than I thought it would be. Dave Talamo, founder of Wilderness Reflections, has been leading these quests for over 10 years. We had delicious meals and spent quality time together talking and preparing for the solitary fast. It was very powerful to be in touch with nature during this time, and gave me a renewed sense of wonder for the natural world, as well as for my own mortality. I had never gone for 3 days and 3 nights without speaking to another human either. This quest was well worth the price. Dave Talamo does them all over the country.
