A smart man once said "the unexamined life is not worth living". Meditating and waxing philisophic on the reasons for the way you act is a noble way to go about life.


My only word of caution is that you should try hard not take a morally superior stance to people who have a different opinion than yours. I'm not suggesting you did that in this thread but I find myself struggling with realizing that everyone is going to be a little different and my moral compass is going to be slightly off course when compared to someone else. Maintaining an open mind, as you are trying to do, is key to understanding people's differences and coming to terms with your own reality.


If you want to get some differing opinions to expand your thought excercises, here are a few from my library:


Some we love, some we hate and some we eat by Hal Herzog.

A quiet place of violence by Allen Morris Jones was a good read for me, too, and helped me reaffirm some of my beliefs in the ethics of taking from nature to suit my own needs.

I just started Call of the Mild by Lily Raff McCaulou and it's entertaining so far but I haven't gotten very far in it yet.

oh, and for the survival training piece of the pie I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Les Stroud has a book and you should probably buy two copies since you'll end up using one of them for tinder.

No problem. This subreddit is very helpful for starting out, but search around online too. Backpacker magazine has an excellent website with all sorts of good information.

We like to get on Google maps and click around on the green parts to see whats around, then research the areas. If something looks interesting, we'll check it out one weekend. It adds a little sense of adventure to our trips as well.

We've done 2 road trips through southern Utah and the Four Corners area (one in the winter and one in the summer) and we stopped at several places my Utahn husband had never heard of because i saw it on a map. We were pleasantly surprised with a lot of places and disappointed with some well known spots.

First, get an idea of where you want to go (mountain, desert, swamp, etc), then do a couple of day trips through the area. Get a decent map before you go and learn how to use a compass. You never want to go out into the wilderness without knowing how to get back out. Read Les Stroud's book, Survive. He has some awesome advice in the book and it's very practical. It makes you think about a lot of things before you go out.

For starters, have your read his book, Survive!?

Pretty much; just never drink from streams unless you absolutely have to. Sounds like you may be new to the outdoors, checking out some of the information Les Stroud has published may be useful for you.
