Anyone enjoying walking alone in the woods?

I do, it actually relaxes me a lot.

Where I come from walking alone in the woods is not recommended because of drug dealers, aggressive homeless people and potential murderers and rapists wandering around. It's a shame people can't enjoy nature here. *Sigh*

I certainly do.

I live in a city (smallish one, but city nonetheless) and have nowhere to do this on a regular basis. But once the weather here starts to allow it, I go off to one of the national forests in my state and do some primitive camping where I can walk around, relax, and just 'be'. I don't go with other people...just me and dog. It is amazing and I never want to come back. If I could live out there, I would. It's like it soothes my damn soul or something...hits the metaphorical internal reset button. It gives me a calm and content I didn't know I could experience. Love it.

Yes absolutely. Being alone, apart from dog, in the woods is totally restorative for me. I will occasionally take a tent and dog to a nearby national park and spend a few days just walking alone.

I need to do this more often.

Yes ,usually on a daily basis.
I love watching the seasons change.
It’s best to avoid the woods during the height of summer here ,unless you are fond of ticks.

I walk my dog every night in the woods, around 2 a.m.
Daredevil / scopophobic freak here.

Yes, my city is full of forested hills. Few other municipalities have retained 30% of their tree cover.

I spend quite a bit of time each week walking alone in the woods and countryside

I waked the woods yesterday and cussed out a land developer.

I enjoy and try to walk in the woods daily, but due to covid after-effects (or something else?) I don't think I've done a full week since Nov (when I caught covid).

Haven’t heard that bulldozer today.
I’m going to have a quiet walk and look at the wildflowers.
Rue anemones are blooming and wild phlox.White and purple.

I like images of American woodland where its miles and miles of thick trees (pines?) with 1 road weaving through it

British woodland looks so different

My woods with a trail.
