I just went on a 9 day Backpacking trip in the Rae Lakes Basin in Sequoia National Park. It was beautiful. We hiked 50 miles in 7 days, climbed to 12,000 feet, etc...

So, if anyone else likes the outdoors, please share stories and opinions here...

I can't say that I like the outdoors. Much too many bugs for my tastes. I like a nice air conditioned room with a cushy chair.

Yeah same here. I don't like being hot at all and I absolutely hate bugs.

There's nothing bad with a hike out in the wild. *g*. Bugs don't bother me. If they try to take a sip of my sap, they learn quickly that this ain't healhy for them. Well, for the tiniest of time, they do. what bothers me is when it's hot outside - I don't need extra heat, I'm producing enough energy myself to stay warm and cosy despite the chilliest air.

The 'outdoors'. You mean the takeaway, right?

geez you guys!

I find that if the weather is right, a stroll through the woods will help me solve bug in problems in my OS by getting away from everything.

I once went for a 7-day walk (80km... so around 50 miles I guess) through Cradle Mountain - Lake St. Claire National Park. Awesome is an understatement.

Anybody who doesn't go outdoors every so often, is missing out on the most enjoyable bits of life.

Living in Houston I'd probably have a heatstroke if I went backpacking. Besides there isn't anywhere to really go to. But I just got back from Denver, Colorado and went up in the Rocky mountains as much as I could. If I lived there I'd be going all the time (and probably would be in much better shape).
