Yep. It's alot of fun. Especially the multi-day ones. 5 days in the wilderness will change you. Your breathing changes, your pulse changes, your general pace of life changes. It's a really neat experience. Your biggest stress is, which meal am I eating tonight, or what time will I stop for a nap, or will I play in that stream this afternoon or just stick my feet in. :)
