I've actually met him through work. Can confirm he is based as fuck. So modest and humble about all the things he's done.

I saw a pretty good documentary i think by national geographic. It was about the founding of american parks. It covered a lot of time and a lot of peopke but i think it migjt be john muher who had panick attacks and depressive fits and the only way he could cure himself was going out into the wild

This. Thanks to an anon here quoting from the intro, I recently acquired a crusty used copy of "Wilderness World of John Muir" and have discovered an individual far more incredible than even that which I previously knew. Truly a god among us.

You know it. Think what you like of the British, but you can't deny the country's history of exploration and adventure.

Wanderlust is definitely amplified when you live on a tiny wet rock in the middle of the sea.

My first summer in the Sierra was the first /out/ literature I read and despite never been to California it gave me major desire to do so.

>>1618334

Quoted By:

Tolkien's body of work, specifically "The road goes ever on and on" for nightwalks.

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say
