The quote spoken by Robert Redford "I've bought hundreds of acres around my home. That's why I moved here from the coast. There's plenty of room to roam and be alone with nature. That's living. The city life is merely existing," has stuck in mind for years when I first heard it as an "invincible" teenager. However it didn't dawn on me how important that statement was until much later in life. That statement is very true.
Having lived in both areas on and off during my life I'm able to say with a certainty that being-living in nature is real living and city living is merely existing. Frankly I don't know what I'd do without nature and the outdoors. I can still remember when I was young and looking forward to every Saturday when my father would take me hunting, fishing or shooting. My best memories of when I was younger were times I spent outdoors with my father or just out roaming the Rocky Mountains by myself.
When you're out being one with nature then and only then are you truly at peace with yourself. When I'm in the city it seems like I'm always on edge and never truly at peace with myself. There's nothing quite like sitting all alone in the mountains and hearing your own heartbeat because the forest is dead silent. No where in the city could you find such silence and peace.
Now being a father I can't imagine what life would be like for my children if they weren't able to have the same experiences I had when I was young. Nobody loves or admires the outdoors as much as sportsmen/outdoorsmen. We are truly the keepers and watchers over nature.
I'm encouraging everyone who reads this article to take your kids and family hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and anything that has to do with the outdoors. Support and donate to your local wildlife offices or hunting/fishing organizations. Help to preserve America's wild-free country for generations to come.
