“The old school of thought would have you believe that you'd be a fool to take on nature without arming yourself with every conceivable measure of safety and comfort under the sun. But that isn't what being in nature is all about. Rather, it's about feeling free, unbounded, shedding the distractions and barriers of our civilization—not bringing them with us.”
― The Ultralight Backpacker : The Complete Guide to Simplicity and Comfort on the Trail

“Setting out alone in old age, emptiness
knowing itself here in such splendor,
I often hike up to where streams end,
gaze into a time newborn clouds rise.
If I meet some old-timer in these woods,
we laugh and talk, all return forgotten.”
― The Selected Poems of Wang Wei
