Humans possess an innate, genetically ingrained, and spiritual connection to nature and wild landscapes that serves as a fundamental source of well-being and life instinct.

“It's like you you feel it in your your DNA, man. >> It's like your your body knows like this is a fertile, beautiful place that's filled with life and this should excite you. So all your natural human reward instincts are all like this is a place I should be.”

Regular exposure to nature and wilderness is essential for maintaining human health and perspective, as modern life disconnects people from their natural state.

“It's not until you get to nature where all that weight just gets lifted off of you and you feel more normal and you're like, "Oh, this is where people are supposed to be."”
