Nice post, thank You for sharing Your experiences. I was in the forest today as well, at least once per week I have to spend 4-5 hours in the woods just wandering around, looking for shots, animals, antlers, signs of spring... and everything else which will inspire me and help me forget about the rest of the worls just for few seconds ;)...
Since I moved back to Poland, my stress level is about 5 times higher than in Norway, so for now I need as many "escape trips" as possible :).

Did I mentioned Your post is great? ;)

All the best to You!
