The first people on Earth were hikers and campers. So today,
when we walk the land and bed down on it, we’re living in the
most primitive, elemental way known to our species. We’re re-
turning to a way of life intrinsic to the human experience. We’re
shedding the burden of millennia of civilization. We’re seeking
catharsis. We’re inviting enlightenment. (Copeland & Copeland,
2011, i)
I wonder,
before that,
we're those hikers and campers,
not surfers of sorts?
