RE: The Beast From The East: A Wild Winters Walk With Me
Picture 13, 14 and 15 are super awesome... Yeah you mentioned the rock formations... Those are absolutely stunning... You're absolutely right, you're nuts to go get lost in such a climate and it's also incredibly beautiful... I wish I could have been there with you...
Having your beautiful companion go on the walk with you would have made it more fun though!
So many stupendous sights... I need to get out and do some hiking... I can't imagine how good for the soul this must have been...
To think we have ancestors that routinely did this a la caveman blows my mind though... Imagine if you had to do something in this weather, and the best you could hope for is to find a few hundred calories and head back to your cave, where you would promptly light a fire (unless your fellow human dwellers were already there keeping it going) and try and warm yourself up...
Ice man
The very thought is chilling to the bone... Great little adventure my man, thanks for sharing with us!
Hey @imp-unity really glad you like the post and pictures my friend! .. it would be cool to head out to the wilds with you for the day, I'm sure the time would fly by!
The whole area is notorious for fog and the visibility was pretty bad at the top .. if you got lost and wandered off into the wilderness it would be pretty dangerous. The also have vast blanket bogs on the moor so if you wandered into one of those that had a covering of snow you'd certainly regret it! They have a very old prison in the middle of the moor and there are stories of prisoners escaping into storms and then banging on the prison doors a few hours later to be let back in! lol
I would love to live a complete back to basics lifestyle my friend, hunter gatherer, log cabin in the woods .. that's my aim, hopefully one day I'll realise it :) Thanks again @imp-unity I'm really glad you enjoyed my post.
Definitely
I'm down for that!
Yeah, if I was venturing out there on my own, I would at least want to be with someone awesome like you, or at the very least your furry companion! That and a army-grade set of wellies lol. And yeah, wouldn't want to go to prison in that environment! Yikes
I totally hear that about the anarchy-primitavism... I think for months at a time as a kind of spiritual retreat I think it would be such a valuable experience... Like do a whole season or two like that...
Depends on the circumstances that life has dealt, but I could certainly see that as being an experience we'd want to do at least once (especially as a man right?)
My first goal is to set up a self-sustaining renewable energy commune in the global south... Somewhere with year round avocados and mangos will do :3
Hunting and gathering in the woods might be an extra step beyond this original agricultural preservationism dream I'm chasing :3
Take care @perceptualflaws xx
