After years living in a big city and wasting away at a desk job, being outside at a lake, hiking trail, camping, etc., is where one can truly find that inner balance if that makes sense. And to be honest, I think if everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and actually do so, then this world would be a better place. Not trying to preach or rant, but too many people are caught up in the artificial world created around them, that many seem to forget that there is a real natural world out there.

Oh yes Millz !

People don't neighbor anymore and it's sad. I bet I knew every neighbors name and had talked to, worked with, played with, ate supper with 80-90% of the 15-20 houses/families within few hundred yards of my home place. We were always out back doing something and the neighbors joined in or we joined them.

When I was like 13 me and my buddies would get up at daylight in the summer and go down to the creek seining minnows and be out at the local ponds/lakes crappie and bluegill fishing at like 7 AM, fillet em up and have lunch.

Can you see todays kids doing that ?
