1 lose yourself

                There's something healing about the woods... Your essence: body, blood and heart are uplifted in the calming warmth of the sincere outdoors. I don't know about you, but I live in a world where everyone is lost; people are dazed and confused by a digital screen. One wakes up to the sound of their phone, falls asleep with it under their pillow, and all the time in between it is hiding in their back pockets. To many people, the woods are new. Traditions of survival have died out at the hands of convenience and modern technology like the micro-wave. This leaves the woods forgotten, lost in the back of our minds.

                If I could take you to the woods right now, I would. Rain, sun, or snow, the silence would be soul mending, and a sight apart from an asphalt jungle would be captivating. But what would we do? And how would we stay? This blog is basic tips for survival and to encourage finding the Canadian woods, and getting lost in them. I’ll dedicate blog posts to places to get lost, food, shelter, directions Forget your cell phones, micro-waves, and all that packaged food you take with to your reserved camping spot around the public lake. Just remember the beauty of being alone or only with the people who matter, in a place long forgotten. Get back to the great woods, get lost amongst the cedar trees.
