Every day I step out of my house and look out upon the world as it is meant to be. The trees are lush, green, and full of life. There is signs of game that have passed by so close to my house, that I could hit them with a thrown rock. I am a hunter and I know my woods like the back of my hand. Because of this intimate knowledge, I know most every wood to a certain degree. I forest, I hunt, I provide, and I teach.
In world that is being modernized faster than the trees can grow, you may think that the skills picked up while spending time in the woods is useless. I'll tell you this right now, my friend. There will always be forests, streams, and fields in this world. There will always be a need for man to know nature like it was an old friend. Most importantly, it is of the utmost importance that this knowledge be kept because it is only through knowledge that respect can be learned.
Do we really want to become completely reliant on others for our basic necessities? As a hunter and a forester, I am capable of supplying all of the basic needs of myself and my family. I can feed them, I can build them a home, and I can protect them from harm within an environment most people would feel helpless in. If you can't provide for your loved ones by yourself, then you are neglecting your duties as a man.
Let's not forget the rich tradition that would be lost if forestry became lost in the flow of just one more traffic jam. This country was carved out of rock and wood by great hunters and trappers who braved the unknown places so that others could pass safely. Isn't it up to us not to let that slip from our fingers, and thusly, our memories? The best way we can tune into the hardships and the bravery of our forefathers is by taking nature head-on and learning these tricks of the wild.
My love and respect for the natural world is only shadowed by the love I have for my children. I share that love between the three of us by teaching my kids everything I know. We all wear our fair share of hunter tees and apparel because once you teach a child to love the outdoors, that love becomes a pride that they can't help but share. While mankind is eternally fallible, nature will always provide.
