| Comfort Zone Rating |
| - COMFORT ZONE MEASUREMENT - | ||||
| The GTD Comfort Zone Measurement is our way of assessing the accommodations, amenities, and setting that will serve as a participant's shelter during their event. This unscientific measurement is subjective, but is a factor in an individual's decision whether or not to participate in a GTD event. The harsher the accommodations then the more physical, emotional, and psychological demand will be required from the participant. GTD divides this measurement into 5 Comfort Zones. | ||||
