Quotes by Dan White (?)

“Nature is freedom and sunshine. Nature is also bears, yellow jackets, rockfall and vertical exposure. Nature wins.”

“Days and nights among the trees is not time off the books. It is not a subtraction from the days of life but an addition to them.”
― Dan White, Under the Stars: How America Fell in Love with Camping

“I love camping. I hate camping. I can't seem to stop. In case you haven't noticed, campouts hardly ever go the way you want them to go. It doesn't matter if you're glamping or backpacking, on a guided exploration or alone. Chaos finds a way.”
― Dan White, Under the Stars: How America Fell in Love with Camping
