For me, nature is something you watch on the Discovery Channel, or on the evening news -- as you learn how much more of it's been savaged to make way for the Blackberry realm that is my home

About This Quote

I try and live as natural and as unplugged as possible. My home is the great outdoors, the great mountains, lakes and rivers, and the great forests of North America. I try to live as close as possible to nature. I want to feel natural, not unnatural or unnaturalized.

I want to be as close as I can to God’s creation without being seen by Him. And if that’s not possible, then it’s not possible.
