I know, right? Nothing like being in the woods surrounded by a bonfire , cooking smores and weiners and laying with a blanket under a dark sky full of bright stars...
Indeed. Up in the Rocky Mts at about 10,000 ft. The air is SOOOO clear.

.I think I'm more afraid of the animals then people out there though lol imagine meeting a big black bear
LOL!!!! I had a black bear come into my tent one night. I slept thru the whole thing. He/she was looking for food but found none and left.
My tent mate freaked out and ducked out the back of the tent (no solid flooring) and ended up rolling about a hundred yards down hill in his sleeping bag.

Gotcha. Strange things happen. Not so common though, the woods are generally less dangerous than the urban environment, provided you have some minimal safety and navigational skills, and you aren't a nutcase.
Well I am definitely a nut case. Wanna go into the woods? :hug:

t I also know the signs to watch out for and when in bear country carry bear spray. :)
We did not have that back in 1970. But I knew they were there, so I took my portion of the food for the troop and my first aid equipment and made my own suspension from 2 very small trees. the overall troop pack ended up being brought down by the bears and they ate everything in that pack. So my part of the food was all we had until we got to the next aid station.

Good point, I suppose once one is more comfortable one is more at ease. Sometimes just starting is the best way to get used to it. I am comfortable being in the presence (or possible presence) or animals, but I also know the signs to watch out for and when in bear country carry bear spray. :)
I love being in the presence of animals but I'm not sure I would want to be in the presence of snakes, bears, wolves , wild dogs and a skunk. Etc....lol but most definitely snakes, I know they are everywhere in those kinda places...

Right, however, I am a cerebral killer not a serial killer. I defeat my foes on a mental plane.
Vengeance belongs to the Lord. You can't payback evil with evil. That's worst then being a Ted Bundy. Lol we are not suppose to defeat our foes ..we only have victory In the Lord by letting him go before us cause he is before us and ahead of us already...we do that by being obeident...and being still

I like to go camping with my friends in the woods. It is very interesting and unites us. It's really cool to be alone with nature.

We go camping and have boats so a lot of fishing is involved as well. Nice to get out with friends and/or family and enjoy the Lords creations. Most people seem to really relax and end up with many good memories.

I go to the woods get away from people. Taking others along defeats the purpose. I loved camping, up until bedtime. I never could sleep well while camping. Give me a nice soft bed in a cabin and I'm a "happy camper". :)
