 Some wish to be as tough as the toughest, so they join -parties whose members are a bit stronger, and walk a bit faster than they themselves. Then they have to barge along with their eyes on the ground all the time lest they stub a toe, or stumble. They certainly toughen themselves, and develop wonderful appetites, but they don't see a thing of the country through which they are walking, or of the plants and animals, birds and insects that live there.
-For a really enjoyable trip, most of us go out with parties of about our own standard (with, for preference, one or two people in the party who are slightly slower than we are). Then we have time to look at things as we walk, glancing do= to where our feet will go, and up again at the far hills, noting how they fold into one another; stopping to watch a beautiful beetle; sneaking up to see a shy bird; drinking in the colour and scent of the bush as we go; enjoying it to the full.

-Yes, certainly, the first point in bushcraft is to take time to see things. And the second is to learn to know them by name. As you go, a question or so - - *What's that bird?", "What's the name of this creek?", "Isn't that a lovely tree!
