>>2827721John Burroughs has a quote from "In the Catskills" about how you always want to bring a book but nature is always way more interesting. Or something like that.
Emerson has one about how the whole point of enjoying nature is to forget about civilization and its bullshit. Something like "if man is to venture into nature and leave his life behind, he must also leave behind his quarters"
Burroughs in the same story ended up reciting some horrible faggoty poetry with his hiking buddy, I skipped that part
All said, If I was stranded on an island waiting for rescue, some Mark Twain would probably be nice.
