We departed the kibbutz and took Israel to the extreme for the Yam L'Yam hike which was intense, walking for a total of 4 days and sleeping outside in tents for 3 nights.
I felt the hike enabled us to reach our full potential as I feel a much stronger person, things we didn't think we could achieve.. We stuck through it and did it. The hike overall amounted to carrying a heavy load on our backs, waking up at 6am and hiking for 4 hours in the morning, a 2 hour break and then 3 hours hiking in the afternoon. It was really nice when we reached some streams where we could freshen ourselves from the exhaustion of the day. The sights along the way were also very pleasant.
The hike involved walking up mountains, rock climbing, jumping and walking through rocky walkways with our rucksacks on our backs. When we touched down at the place where we stayed in tents, everyone crashed out and this was a time to relax and have some awesome food. We also saw a beautiful sight of the stars, siting by a fire with marshmallows which made it an enjoyable experience.
The thing that most helped me get through the hike is knowing we will have an 'i survived the Yam L'Yam hike' t-shirt with quotes we have found funny during our life changing experience and we also felt we have accomplished something. I feel this hike has done me a lot of good because it has made me appreciate the things we most take for granted in life such as a bathroom, shower, electricity and home comfort as now we can appreciate our homes a lot more!
