to get away from lots of bad people , and be alone with nature, and a small number of good people.
distill your reason down to one sentence.
Because of the simplicity of it.

One sentence?...ok (excluding the "one sentense" prefix). I'm a businessman living in the big city, trying to survive the "rat race" and I need to get out of here - desperately.

Yes, for such a fantastic site/forum and with such great advice, it definately IS a bargain (even at 1/2 the price). In fact, even at some "Ivy League" universities I would'nt get the same real-world education I am getting here. Seriously, I did click on the link but then doubled back and went to my online checking account and discovered that I currently have a balance of $28.84 and then decided to back off for now. I felt guilty and sort of like I was'nt "putting my money where my mouth was" but I should be in better shape when my check arrives on or about the beginning of next month (August). I may own a business but like I said in another thread, I am by no means rich and I struggle through life just like everyone else. I was going to donate $10.00 for now but decided to check my bank account when I got to the CC# part. Anyway, that sucked but what could I do?...sorry:(

Oh Hell.:banana
i just want to be by myself in the woods, by myself not meaning solitary so much as independant.
I like to walk, and a trail in the woods sure beats any sidewalk.
To let go of control, clocks, schedules, reconnect with nature, and experience 6 months of getting back to the basics....hike, eat, sleep, think, survive

For the sense of independence.
It's an fun excuse to not work.

Nature, Nature, Nature... Back to Nature.
To make life simple again.
It's more fun than working.
It's more fun than working.
It started with "to reach Katahdin" but you know, by 2/3s of the way until the very summit it really did seem to be largely about blueberries!
