3:36Now PlayingDavid Rubenstein: "Now, before you did this, did you update your own will?"
David Grann: "Well, that's a sensitive topic. I did take out an extra life insurance policy…I went to an REI store, I've never been to an REI store and I haven't been since. But I went in there and I started looking at all the cool gizmos and gadgets and putting them into my container and pushing...And then this guy comes over to me, looked like he was 22 and looked like he just come down from Mount Everest and he says to me, 'you never camped, have you?' starts taking out all the things out of my bag and saying, Look, we've got to get you mosquito net, We're going to get you some boots, some water resistant material. And so off I went."
