i really cannot understate how much happier i was living outside, doing manual labor, and working closely with a small community of people (good and bad). it felt like i was inhabiting a different brain.

part of it was probably the constant exercise and relatively healthy diet. but i think a lot also had to do with the simplicity of that lifestyle: my entire life revolved around work and the people on my crew. it was very much a living in the moment thing.

here's a video from one of my crews (i'm the guy from my av):

i've done some hiking and camping but my first deer hunt last year was the most interesting.

all i did all day was slowly walk around the desert alone and look for deer. i wasn't going anywhere, and i didn't have any tasks to accomplish. i looked more thoroughly at my surroundings than i ever have. i climbed up and down hills. i did some reading around lunchtime because the deer wouldn't be moving much then anyway, but it felt very weird to sit out on a rock in the desert and try to read this book, so i went back and laid in the shade of my tent and took a nap, another thing i never do.

i really liked it and i'm looking forward to scouting for this year's hunt

My wife and I are taking the Washington Hunters course over the next few weeks. I don't really want to kill an animal but I want an excuse to walk around nature.

Maybe we'll try hunting turkeys? I hear its challenging but I don't care much for deer.

if you want an outdoor challenge that involves stalking and shooting at animals might i suggest photography? i think it's mega fun and you still get to buy expensive gear.

e: not necessarily knocking hunting, especially if you eat what you kill

no luck. i put in for deer and elk this year but only drew an elk tag, up near los alamos in what's supposed to be a pretty good elk unit.

they are supposed to be pretty challenging, yes, but it should be fun. i highly recommend steven rinella's "the complete guide to hunting, butchering, and cooking wild game". volume 2 covers small game and fowl including turkey, but both volumes are great. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Hunting-Butchering-Cooking/dp/0812987055

he also has a tv show (some episodes are on netflix, search "meateater") and a podcast. he puts forth a responsible and ethical form of hunting that i find very admirable and try to emulate.

many states have laws against 'wanton waste' of wildlife. in such states, 'trophy hunters' would be wise to pack out their meat or be in deep poo poo when a fish & game checkpoint (yes, they exist) finds them driving home with a fresh skull & no meat. if you wish to make some sort of vague ethical distinction between a guy who wants meat vs. a guy who wants big antlers and meat, i don't know what to tell you

my elk tag is for antlerless elk, gently caress packing a big bull elk out even if i did find one

yes but ok so

im almost 40, my body is broken, and i am rehabilitating myself to do things like this

day hikes are awesome, but even if you cannot do that, go for a 90 minute walk with a destination and a (small healthy refreshing) snack at the far end. start stretching out and exploring new things. i'm blessed because for 5.20 a day i can get a denver transit pass and go ride a few stops down on rail or bus and then either walk or ride my lovely bike home. it's way more motivating when you know that all you have to do is go home, that way you don't say "eh i'll turn around now" and short sell your jaunt

after that go for a full 8hr day in a park across town, and then start lining things up for an overnight hammock or small tent camp in a nearby organized camping area, state park or w/e
