  1. I've already went through my adventurous phase in life, fortunately without any major incidents, and now I'm totally a couch potato. xD Suggestion for anyone too enthusiastic about the outdoors: live a bit in a tropical nation... you will lose that willingness pretty fast, I guarantee. :P I personally have zero interest in engaging with nature further, even after retirement, I don't care. I have lots of relatives and friends who dreams of living closer to nature when they retire, small farm, beach house, stuff like that. I don't want any of that. If I live long enough I'm still a few decades from my golden age, perhaps I'll just retire in some VR world. I want the isekai route. xD I never really had it in me as some friends did, but the experiences I had were enough. Just try daring to go even a little bit too into the "outdoors" here, some forest, some state park... it's not gonna be like in US state parks, some of which I went in myself. Well, this might be because my hometown has a national park in itself, and I had the opportunity to go in there a few times... I guess that's part of the reason why there's such a ramp up in willingness of people to go into national parks in the US. Not that it's easy to hike any trail like that, nor that accidents can't happen, but because there are such prompt emergency services, prepared terrains, general facilities, gear accessibility, plus a bunch of other stuff... people just kinda do it for the Insta shots or bragging rights. You go into a nature reserve here for the Insta shots, you could end up insta killed. No emergency services rushing to your rescue, people end up dead in those places all the time here. Even if it is a semi-prepared location with frequent visitation and whatnot, you're still gonna have a bad time. The wilderness is much less forgiving, routes are not as open, terrain is extremely broken and harsh, you won't reach trails on car most of the times, and you always need to be prepared to be devoured by mosquitoes and end up with some sort of tropical disease... it's like nothankyou.jpg. But that's great. Because you can see how things would get just by the state of our beaches. People have zero education and leave trash everywhere they go. Just better for most parts of the wilderness to remain inaccessible.
