right on man i love snyder's poems too. it's kind of funny but sad that people who haven't camped or hiked already have preconceptions of what it is like, which is usually far from what is really like. sure they might have a good idea of what you will see while hiking, but have no idea of the refreshing mindstate (meditation) that comes from being alone in the wilderness - where no technology is interfering and distracting your mind. and where you are literally one with the life surrounding you.
