As we get older, I think it is important to realize your limitations. There ae a lot of us on this forum that aren't spring chickens anymore, and I think it would be a good idea to share our learnings about how to still get out in the wilderness, and manage our aging body's within safe limits.
I knw I can't cover near the ground I could in my younger years, so I just take it slower, and one thing I have noticed in doing that is I see more and find more things that I would have missed when I use to gallop throug the woods.
I am also very much more careful to not get hurt, and take my time when I chop wood, and hike over rough terrain. I guess age at least teaches you to be more careful and to slow down. I also realize that I don't panick near as easy as i did when I was young, and will now just sit down and think my way out of a situation rather than simply react to the first thought that comes to my head. And if it is 10 degrees outside, I just stay in the house and wait until it''s warmer to take off into the woods.
So what has changed with you now that you are a Geezer Wilderness Survivor?
