    36 Days. 500 Miles. Zero Internet.Art historian and author Briana Gravat did what most wouldn't dare: she rucked the entire WWI Western Front alone. In a world obsessed with constant connectivity, Briana unplugged to walk through the literal trenches of history. In this deep-dive episode of Coffee with Bearded Baghdad, we explore the haunting reality of the battlefields, the "consumerism lie" that is breaking modern society, and why we are all "homesick" for a world that no longer exists. In this episode, we uncover:• Survival on the Front: Carrying a 30lb ruck through monster rainstorms and sleeping on the same ground as 1914 infantrymen.• The Globalism Trap: Why our modern "junk" culture is failing us and why we need to return to local community. • The ADHD & Autism Connection: Ricky and Briana share a raw moment on late-life diagnoses and finding peace in "intrusive" thoughts. • The Lost History of America: Why we've forgotten the war that actually changed everything. "The human heart can only hold so much before it breaks." This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone feeling burnt out by the digital age.
