Most people are sleeping at this hour of the night, but I'm just now waking up to pack up my gear and head into the forest for the morning.

  • Essay On Concept Of Wilderness

    837 Words  | 2 Pages

    Does wilderness exist? To many people, this would seem to be a very meaningless question. Of course wilderness exists. But, coming from a student who decided to enroll in a class called Humans and the Natural Environment: Impacts and Moral Obligations, this question has become one that has almost thrown my world upside down. Before we can answer the question, we must first know the definition of wilderness is this, “an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man is a visitor who does not remain.” Because of my recent class periods and readings, I believe that the concept of wilderness does not exist, and that it is not useful. Throughout this essay I will explain why

  • Similarities Between Into The Wild And To Build A Fire

    425 Words  | 1 Pages

    Nature is very unforgiving. It enforces harsh consequences for mistakes and incompetence on people who do not know what they are doing. The man from To Build a Fire goes through great efforts when trying to build a fire in order to survive. He makes the mistake of building it by a tree with snow on its boughs. As a result of this, the snow on top “descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!” The man is never able to build and sustain a fire on his trip and he perishes very uncomfortably. Chris McCandless from Into the Wild is not well versed in nature and survival skills. Yet, he is very confident as he enters the Alaskan wilderness. He packed very little and just went for it. Because of this, he is found dead with a note saying, “S.O.S. I NEED YOUR HELP. I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE OUT OF HERE I AM ALL ALONE, THIS IS NO JOKE…” He suffered from a sad, painful death. Both people suffer terribly as the

    With stress on my mind and a cookie in my hand, I headed towards the wooded area behind her home. At the beginning of the trail, there was an old rotting tire swing barely hanging onto a low-hanging branch. The extensive amount of muddy puddles and the surrounding damp grass made me hesitant to follow through with my grandmother’s suggestion; the mountain of homework that waited for me back at home convinced me to continue. Trees towered over me, adding to the existing weight of stress that sat upon my shoulders, as I carefully maneuvered around the biggest puddles, beginning to become frustrated. Today was a terrible day to go for a walk, so why would my grandmother suggest this? Shaking my head in frustration, I pushed forward. The trail was slightly overgrown. Sharp weeds stabbed my sides every few steps, and I nearly tripped over a fallen tree branch. As the creek barely came into view, I could feel the humidity making my hair curly and stick to the sides of my face. After stopping to roll up the ends of my worn blue jeans, I neared the end of the trail. Bright sunlight peeked through the branches and reflected off the water. The sun must have come out from behind a cloud, seeing as it now blinded me as I neared the water. A few minutes passed by before I could clearly see
