It doesn’t take much to realize that you are far removed from nature. Yesterday the whole family went to a small summer cottage for the day. The toilet wasn’t working because of repairs. And we are talking about a house in the middle of nowhere. During the day I took my camera gear and went on a short treck. And of course I had eaten a big mexican dinner the day before, so my smart wife gave me a roll of toilet paper to take with me. I said “Yeah, sure!” thinking that I wouldn’t need it. And after ten minutes I was desperate. Not long time ago, the human being was designed by evolution to live in the forest, but this must now be a lost art. I hadn’t a clue how to physically do the number two in the woods. I tried to sit on an old fallen tree as support, but managed to fall down into a deep ditch with my white shiny ass hanging out. Next try I managed to puncture my ass cheeks by branches. On the next try my dong got caught on the log. Could this be considered getting wood? Well to cut a long story short I got the business done finally. Then I had to try to get trough a insanely dense forrest just to get back to the house. Total time trekking, about 20 minutes, number of pictures taken, zero.
