Commentary: Make sure your outdoors ‘last call’ doesn’t come with regrets
The outdoors – Mother Nature – offers each of us intriguing experiences away from large social crowds of humans. Our learning experiences and personal privacies will never be matched. The feel of a hard-fighting fish. Wild game harvests. The beauty of the outdoors that our ugly human cities can ruin our privacy.
