The mountains are living things,
they test you,
they kick your butt if you make a mistake.
They can heal and sing and are constantly changing, they SEEM frozen and solid but they are not.
Any child knows this.
Anyone that cannot feel and experience the magic and the terror and the ENERGY a mountain has to offer, might as well just "hike" out to the kitchen and get another beer.
Some people look but they don't SEE.

Some Heinlein quotes (for Biker):
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
All cats are not grey after midnight. Endless variety -
Don't store garlic near other victuals
Everything takes longer than you think. Except sex.
In handling a stinging insect, move very slowly
Never try to outstubborn a cat
Natural laws have no pity
The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, programme a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialisation is for insects.

What we, uh, "re-quire" is that you get your god-damn asses up in them woods.
Sometimes you have to lose yourself 'fore you can find anything.
Goddamn, you play a mean banjo.
All from the same film but still relevant!

Hey Thanks Harvestman, good Heinlein quote selection there. I'll find some others of his maybe later. Time Enough For Love book is the one they're in. (I got 13 out of 21 too, maybe a bit iffy on some but I chose no in case I wasn't sure)
Another quote I often use and if you say it to anyone say it in a chinese accent, it makes you sound very wise indeed... Grasshopper.
"Go to bed with itchy bum, wake up with smelly finger"
It can be applied to any and all situations and confuses the hell out of people when they think you're saying something profound and just don't get it.

The 3 principle enemies of the the bushcrafter are ; a blunt knife,
a heavy downpour just after you 've got the fire started,
& the cunningly concealed stinging nettles, waitng in ambush to kiss your
cheeks when you're obeying the call of nature.
