Five weeks in the woods. By any measure, this is a long time to stay out amongst nature but, to me at the time, it felt perfectly normal, natural. I had thought I would begin to miss certain aspects of the less-wild world, but that had not materialised. Instead, I only wished more of my friends and family—and even total strangers—could experience the changes which went along with life in the woods.
