Different strokes for different folks.
A corny phrase...I know...but I think this old '60's saying (think it was from the '60's, could be wrong).... can apply to a lot of different situations....even including.... what does being out in the great outdoors mean to you ?
There is a wide range of outdoor 'experiencing' to coin a word. I'm curious what the outdoors and outdoors experience means to different members who frequent this sub forum.
Some can probably go out with a knife, a canteen of water....the clothes (outdoorsy) on their back and figure out how to survive for a week or so.
And....at the other end of the spectrum are those who get their outdoor 'fix' inside....watching TV shows and not venturing much past the end of their driveway to get the daily paper.
BTW....I'm not being smug about this end of the spectrum. There are lot's of people who like the idea of the outdoors....or who once frequented the outdoorsy areas...but because of time constraints, health considerations or never having any prior experience....are more comfortable enjoying nature via the medium of TV, etc.
Then there are a whole range of individuals with varying degrees of outdoors experience and skills....between these two levels.
Where do you fit in and how do you enjoy the outdoors ?
