Backpacking
Nothing is better than going into the wilderness, just you and your friends, miles and miles away from the nearest civilization. It teaches you responsibility and independence. And it gets you away from the pressures of life, like bills, work and school! You get to view wildlife at its best, that no one could ever dream of viewing in the city! It teaches you skills that you would never learn in school! Nothing can beat it! :P
Backpacking is a recreation not very well known. I only started backpacking in 1998, and I have had the privilage of going on 2 trips. This summer, we plan to go on 3+ trips.
So next time you feel stressed out or you have some spear time, try it. It could be from an hour hike in the woods to a 7-day trip or longer! But no matter where you go, or how long you go for, each trip will be very worthwhile!
