Hi @crosheille, its amazing to realize that sharing my experience helped you to carry on your journey to enjoy your outdoor life again, just like when you was a child.
In our adult life, so packed of anxiety, tasks and responsibilities, I think its really important to remember how beautiful was our approach to life when we were children.
Children are curious and genuinely enjoy every experience they face, particularly in the outdoors (its part of our instinct of human beings). Can you still feel at least as a memory that excitement you felt when as a child you discovered a new thing you couldn't even imagine true?
We should never stop deliberately seeking those sensations, I think.
They are a significant part of our lives and contribute to make life so beautiful to be lived.
