Why yes I do. The Japanese discovered health benefits of spending time in the woods. They call it shinrin-yoku (森林浴), or forest bathing [as often translated in English]. This isn't bathing in the hygienic sense, rather the sunbathing sense. There are some pseudoscience explanations involving "minus ions", but also real brain science too. Let's enjoy shinrin-yoku! edit: Here are some pictures from my last excursion.

not only is grunting and getting sweaty in the woods good for you physiologically via the inhalation of alpha-Pinene, but as is stated in the ancient wisdom outlined in the kybalion there is a correspondence between the lower and higher worlds so in the same way that we are exhaling carbon dioxide and inhaling pinene rich oxygen so too are we expelling negative emotional energy and assimilating fresh, healthful tree energy so yeah you could say i enjoy it lol

Last weekend I took my family hiking up a mountain trail in the woods. We found some nice Dutch people at the top. That's my story!

No, it takes several hours to drive to the nearest woods that aren't basically a oversized city park. No woods in this country. The oversized city parks you are not allowed to leave the paths and on the weekends there are always dozens of people nearby to rat on you if you should ignore that rule. But then it's for the best because if you left the path you would soon realize the "forest" isn't more than a few hundred meters deep. It's wonderful.

last night i met up with an ex who moved here to take a nice walk in the woods around the river. she's new to the city and i haven't been down there in awhile so it seemed like a nice opportunity to catch up. we picked our way over all the rocks and stuff to an island with paths when a giant thunderstorm hit, like shitloads of lightning and huge peals of thunder and everything started to flood. we like blindly groped our way across the rocks in the pouring rain and it ended up being super romantic and now i'm totally in again. anyway, moral of the story is woods are good for romance ed: here's a good pic of it coming in

I went to big trees a few weeks and there were a bunch of Mennonites there. At least I think they were mennonites I don't know anything about them but they had phones and were in California so they couldn't be Amish? It was a bizarre encounter in the woods. Full disclosure: we ate a fair amount of acid but the Mennonites were real.

There's a little forest behind my apartment that I decided to go explore last weekend. It was fun until I sank up to my thighs in mud, had to pull myself out by grabbing onto some thorny rear end plants and scratched my arms all up. I'm glad I live inside.

In my youth I stashed some porn bartered from a friend for a reasonable amount of pogs in a fake floor cut out in a shack in the woods behind my house, and one day it was just gone. It freaked me out, we lived way out in the country, and it was my neighbour's property back there but he was old as poo poo and never went near it.

Of course I don't go into the woods. That is where a shitload of insects live.
