Cynthia's courage is tackling such extreme environments, despite never having camped before is incredible! Her determination to step out of her comfort zone is admirable and motivating.

[@NatGeo]

Her talent and commitment knows no bounds!

[@m.bird.]

It's easy to do that when your nervous system knows you are a winner and supported. Translates to all other aspects of life.

[@Trxchx]

It’s insane that Cynthia did this!! I assume that she did this between the end of wicked and before the press tour. The whole time I was like oh my god please don’t hurt yourself. She’s an amazing soul and inspiration. I love her so much ❤️

[@jareds705]

This woman is a gift to the world! Breaking down barriers fearlessly and epically. Truly iconic!

[@Mia_GT]

I love how Bear will say something like "We have to drop down into this narrow cave and crawl through to the other side" and Cynthia will just be like "Okay :)" as if it's just another day haha how is she so seemingly calm???

[@melaninqueenfit4747]

When she finished and he said “respect” I felt the same! Cynthia is such an incredible human spirit that we are blessed to experience in this world ❤

Bear and Cynthia, dynamic duo! Fun watch. Cynthia, as a Black woman, I hear you, and I’m inspired to get out into this Canadian wilderness more.

[@ngs5554]

Watch out for bears! 🐻

[@DyanisReed]

"This is for us, this is for everyone" Such an inspiration. Nature is so beautiful.

[@blundrpluss]

I was absolutely not expecting backwoods Cynthia, but I find I'm wonderfully amazed but and at all surprised that she'd be incredible at this. Was not expecting the emotional sensitivity from Bear, and it was delightful.

[@diggee172]

Cynthia is a badass! You go girl! So proud of you with the make up, I’m reminded that she played the lead in Harriet. What an amazing actress.

[@MASIKAMCCORMICK]

[@maevethunderchild8333]

CONGRATS, Cynthia! 💖 You did fantastic! I used to teach winter survival camping when I was young & healthy. Most of the women I tried to teach quit in nothing flat & I didn't put them through anything like you did. In Lak'ech, Cynthia! 💚
