First of all: When is your next adventure? I'd like to go! Most of my backpacking through the wild these days is trying to keep up with my two-year old when he takes off running through Target.

You specifically asked about "adaptation." Your question also implies that you're submitting your resume to a person rather than a machine. "Backpacking through the wild" will not impress a machine; it will impress a person.

In the teens of the 21st century, your entire online persona is your resume. What is the story someone constructs about you by searching you online? What makes you stand out as a character they want to write into their company's story? The basic qualifications are still important, but in this age and day people have access to so much more when searching candidates.

So back to "adaptation." I don't know that backpacking fits on a resume. However, it should be part of your self-presentation. Here are a couple of ideas:

1. Blog or podcast about your backpacking adventures and apply them to whatever work you want to do in "civilization."

2. Make a video resume and write it to use your backpacking adventures as part of your story. You might even shoot it in the woods.

3. Find a meet-up group for backpackers (we've got several around here) and figure out which one has the most members who tend to be the kind of people who hire. Or start a meet-up group for business leaders who like to backpack. Build your own tribe (and benefit from it).

Great question. Interesting to think about it. Please schedule a call if you'd like to brainstorm some more!
