Did you find out if the Pope shits in the woods?

I like to think he does. After all he's just a man and no man is above shitting in the woods.

This very important topic was discussed a little while ago. (Funny shtuff- the answer).

You  cannot feel bad walking in the woods, maybe it's a connecting to nature thing, but it works! I love being outdoors and bushcraft/camping out etc. Good for the soul, man.

Is that some kind of Eastern thing? Fuckin' eh, man, I agree; a good walk in the woods is good for the soul.

Far from it duder, I think getting outdoors and away from the hustle and bustle brings peace of mind. More so if you come from a concrete jungle.

Getting back to nature is becoming a more common theme nowadays, being in touch with nature, out in the world, what have you. Kinda primal doncha think?

We talked about a Dude Gathering maybe in Florida once because Florida seemed to be about in the middle, miles wise, from most dudes in America and a lot in Britain where most dudes seem to be in Europe.

It's the positive energy emanating from the soil, the plant life, the animals, and so on--nature that hasn't been contaminated and/or overrun by humans.  It's calming and energizing at the same time.  I feel it whenever I get away from "civilization" for a while, even if it's only for a few hours.  And I really feel it any time I'm near the ocean.  Pure, natural, and completely legal.  Fabulous stuff!

One problem with forests is they tend to be full of bugs.  A gathering in a desert or steppe climate would be refreshingly bug-free.

Tarantulas, spiders, beetles, ants, bees, scorpions, centipedes, crickets, grasshoppers...yeah, deserts are completely bug free.  And then there are the snakes...
