Oh and related to discussions on homelessness, I also read the Salt Path by Raynor Wynn - a hiking memoir by a couple of advancing years who find themselves unexpectedly homeless and decide to do a coastal hike for something to do. It's good, frequently horrible, about people actually attempting to survive in the wild in the UK.

A book I finished while camped out over the past few days.
The Stranger in the Woods. ( paperback ISBN 978-1-4711-5198-9 )
The true account of 20 year old Christopher Knight who, by choice, disappeared into the dense woodlands of Maine, USA in 1986 and had no human contact until he was arrested 27 years later. Surviving totally alone and hidden, subsisting by stealing food and supplies from vacant Summer Holiday cabins and an Activities Centre around a nearby lake, he endured brutal Maine winters and hot, insect infested Summers in tent/tarp shelters until apprehended in 2013.
Recommended to Dreamers and Realists alike.

I just received this as a gift and am very much looking forward to reading it.
Question: do you think it would it be more fruitful to read it from spring onwards when the trees are coming back to life, or is there still merit in reading it now?
As a Forestry student I was expected to recognise trees by their overall form (With and without leaves) the bark, the bud, the leaf and the flower.
