I went to the woods because...

[stovie]

...I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...

H. D. Thoreau

In other words, simplicity, frugality and economy...All else is a product of the neurotic ape and its deviant cerebral cortex...

So why do YOU go to the woods...?

 

[JonathanD]

I like the sights sounds and smells... simples.

 

[John Fenna]

It is where I feel comfortable and in my element and closre to all the elements ...and I am not working (usually!)

What John said plus the relaxation it gives me physically and mentally

Yer wanna leave those mushrooms alone, Stovie.

...cos I'm a bear and it's that time of day again

 

[Realbark]

To think, to wander, to do ONLY what i want to do and only when i want to to do it.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

To unwind chill out and regain a sense of self

 

[locum76]

To look for the teddy bears picnic.

 

[DaveWL]

To get out of the phricken Hospital I work in.

There's woodland all around it which just gnaws at me.

 

[greensurfingbear]

thats where I work

 

[British Red]

I don't any more. There are few woods around here . PLus I generally shattered from working on this place

 

[milius2]

To escape the stupidity and face the reality. Or just to sit down and enjoy real things once in a while.

 

[launditch1]

..because its better than the city.

 

[Man of Tanith]

because it is my natural envireoment and every so often i need to stop living in a box.
once there its all about the real world not care plans risk assessments day care activites and all the othe hogwash i deak with daily

 

[TJRoots]

to escape that what has come to be known as society.

 

[Ironside]

I enjoy the peace

 

[dwardo]

Its a public service, a few days in the woods means i can cope with day to day life a lot easier and thus less people ending up under my patio, think door to door sales, blind motorists...

 

[treadlightly]

Because in the woods you just have to satisfy your basic needs (sustenance/ warmth/shelter) to be content.
