I've always loved walking in woods and enjoy woods ever since I was 5 y-o. Army hit me like sledge hammer about Fieldcraft. I kept nearly 8 years pause after army, studies and such. After picking up photography, I started again walk in forrest, now with camera. Man who understands fieldcraft and practises it, is more touch in nature than purely city folks. IMHO that also makes person more level head and more touch in realism.

Woods are my cathedral, my place of thinking, relax and remove stress. I love the sound of woods, birds, animals and leaves. I love the smell of soil and rain. I love to go in nightless night in 3 or 4 a.m. and enjoy the nature with every breath and every cell.

It sucks that places that I as kid wandered around miles from the nearest human population have been past 10 years built homes, a cursed golf course that destroyed beautiful part of woods and places I loved to be when I was a kid.
