So does anyone else ever take walks outside and go really slowly, taking time to smell different plants and touch nature? I find it to be one of the best parts of my week. It feels really uplifting to pause and sense nature with more than just sight.

Not at all.
People here don't seem to like listening to the birds they just want to pretend to listen. No idea why.

You're not alone bro, most of the people on this board seem to just talk about hard skills and gear. Plenty of people appreciate the majesty of nature.

Yeah man, I was in a helo mishap in the service a few years ago. Running around anywhere isn't going to happen again. I go out for walks in the woods all the time. I can do a couple miles, but it takes a few hours. I don't mind though, you miss a lot of stuff when you're booking it to your destination.

LOL made my night.

I cant say I do this on a regular basis, but when do find myself alone I tend to examine things more often and I find myself becoming lost in thought. My mind becomes heavily stimulated and the sensory found in nature overwhelms my body as I latch to each miniscule moment that passes while cool strokes of mid-afternoon breezes roll over my body.

Absolutely OP. I love going out to the local public parks by myself and just going on a 2 to 3 hour hike. It's very soothing.

I love all the various sensations you can get /out/doors
However, I'm one of those people that has difficulty just sensing things. I want to be doing something while I'm experiencing the outdoors.

I'll stop and smell the flowers, listen to the birds occasionally. Don't touch anything though, not interested in risking a rash.

I just got back from doing that OP. The cherry blossoms are all blooming and I listened to podcasts while I strolled around the neighborhood and looked at all the different plants, smelling the flowers that are just starting to bloom.

Yes, actually, whenever I walk/bike I tend to go slow to enjoy the moment. Bursts of speed are fun, but usually taking in the scenery is the best part for me.
Usually whomever I'm with is usually ahead of me.

Hey hey, Devil's Milhopper! Anywhere in San Felasco Hammock is great for what you're talking about. Such a pretty area.

Yeah I often go on walks through the parks. Millhop was really neat but overdeveloped for my taste.

I don't even walk through the woods anymore as I feel that walking is too much of a disconnect. I now prefer to strip naked and sorry of crawl and slither my way through the forest. This allows me pick out different smells of the soil and underbrush, as well as all the texture changes

Common term from /k/. A sort of motto, when shit goes down we say "Grab SKS, go innawoods."

That's one of the things I enjoy about tracking and listening/assessing the bird language. A lot of people that hike essentially "move through" the woods and don't really absorb what's going on around them. That's one thing I enjoy about stalking/stillhunting as well... being really aware of your surroundings and really paying attention.

>>67609
I don't meditate, but I do sit spots where you sit, let things return to baseline, and take in what goes on around you like how birds react to a raptor overhead, an animal moving on the ground, etc.
