now you guys need to take it a step further and sleep out their for a night or two.
when you use your knife to keep you warm and fed all night long you develop a whole new respect for it and understanding of it and when you do it by yourself you develop and new understanding of yourself.
i enjoy the freedom of camping by myself so much i wont bring anyone else with me except my son or my dog.
start small with one night and work your way up if you havnt already.
