I really just want to experience the outdoors as much as possible. I’m a cyclist (mountain, in this context), and I used to snowboard, but as a I age these activities feel a bit riskier (meaning I may hurt myself) to me personally. What are some good ways to experienced the outdoors with relatively low risk of injury?
More words:
I don’t want to be inside anymore. I was on a river trip this weekend. At some point I was floating in the river and taking in the scenery when I realized I feel like I’m doing nothing most of the time. I work from home, but it definitely has me inside most of the time. I find myself in mood to do whatever I need to, drastic changes, buying equipment, etc, to change this.
I just can’t do it anymore. I need to outside doing something. If I need to sneak off during the workday to do so, so be it.
There’s trekking, camping, exploring, and gold prospecting. Or if you really want to get busy you could always build a cabin in the woods. Age has made me a lot more risk adverse like you. I’m contented with just sitting and cooking around the fire once in a while these days.
