I did her Captain IOE... Probably before you saw her.

My interaction with her was before she went 121, during the primary phase of her training.

That’s exactly my point. And how many have died? Too many.
Even worse though, at least in personal record setting flight plane crashes, they go alone (usually). Everest climbers hire sherpas who are the ones doing the real hard work. They are the ones who pay the cost of western egos.

Who do you think you are to say too many people die trying something you'd never attempt? I have a very patriotic idea, how about you just mind your own damn business and as long as the folks trying to climb Everest didn't steal your credit card to finance it you just ignore them.
Yet all the gravel roads, trails, off-road paths and mountains have been explored already.
And you said the above, but still bought a Jeep.

Maybe adventure is… I don’t know, both personal and fun?

And my “Jeep” has A/S tires, not A/T or M/T. It is for on-road as oppposed to off. But no worries, it’ll conquer the worse potholes known to LA.

I have to be honest, I like the car @Cherokee_Cruiser bought. The best modern version of that sort of vehicle ended when Toyota stopped making or importing the FJ. That was the best mountain goat they'd built since the old Land Cruiser. I used to get real dirty in my trucks and being able to just hose out the interior would've been nice. Such is life, live and learn. I have no idea if his "truck" will ever climb a hill but despite its pampered life I'd know what it could do, I've watched my headlights disappear into the river I was crossing at night and then emerge on the other side, but that was an old Toyota 4X4 truck and probably a conversation for another day. If you actually want a vehicle that won't be bricked by an EMP and go to strange places go find a mid '90s diesel Ford Powerstroke or Dodge with a Cummings and a manual transmission.Yet all the gravel roads, trails, off-road paths and mountains have been explored already.

It’s like you intentionally fell right into my trap, just to humor me! LOL

That’s a whole discussion in itself, not just limited to aviation adventures.
Short answer: crowd sourcing.
Long answer: legal tax evasion strategies.
Sponsors? I don’t know.
Or running it all on credit cards and looking for sponsorships or some sort of revenue as word spreads?
I’m not for or against these kind of things, but there’s very little that intrigues me about attempts to break records. I guess I’m a little burned out from aviation influencers, in general, claiming to be the first/youngest/whatever when after a little digging, they really aren’t. I can’t tell you how many “First African American Airline Captains” I read about last week. LOL

I'm sort of over attention seeking behavior, in general.

Amen to that!! Including the shirtless “airline pilot life” VLOG’s, the folks holding up iPads with their current logged time (literally NOBODY cares!) and the 21 yr old’s that are newly hired and blathering on about what it’s like to be an airline pilot, except they really have no idea yet! You’re not even off probation yet…
I find most of it pretty crinch worthy on so many levels.

From time to time, I’ll see one of these accounts and I’ll suspend disbelief for a moment hoping that a pilot will share his transition to the 121 world. I hope to see a focus on the differences,
similarities, challenges. I hope to see somebody taking about differences in aircraft, philosophy, policies, procedures.
Nope, it doesn’t happen.
