I agree with what Michael says and would go even a little further. MY favorite part is the living deliberately. By this I mean getting back to a more primitive life. The only worries are the basic needs. Food, Water, Warmth, Shelter. Being out in the back country you can forget about anything past that. Its very simple life.I like getting away from things. No computers, no televisions, no non-emergency phone calls. Just me and my gear, in the relative quiet of the woods.
