I find those rugged landscapes beautiful. That kind of expanse can make anyone feel small and it really brings to mind just how insignificant we are in the midst of all that grandeur. Some folks have never seen a night sky in all it's glory, unadulterated by artificial lights and that's unfortunate.

That being said, I know for a fact that I would be woefully unprepared to venture out into such a vast, rugged land. Even though I study and practice preparedness, I am not very skilled in bushcraft. We have poisonous plants and venomous critters around as well as just plain dangerous ones, like gators and caimans. Folks have turned loose their Burmese pythons in the Everglades and they are spreading further north. Those things freak me out a bit lol.
