Re: Are people part of nature?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say ...
With that said, I just came back from fishing in the Florida Keys today, (suffer Northerners! It was 80 degrees today in Miami ), and there is something beautiful and relaxing about drinking a beer on a boat and fishing that I don't think you can get from any top Hotel suite.
Curiously I just came back from two weeks in Puerto Rico, where 80° was common, and staying in resort hotels.
Today we had 2" of snow and it was wonderful to be back where people had weather ... I too used to be a boy scout, and then a scout leader, and my favorite campouts have all been winter campouts with snow. Nothing like sleeping out under the stars in a -40° bag laying on top of the snow (I tend to be a minimalist LNT camper).
Enjoy.

Re: Are people part of nature?
... there is always that moment of waking in a bag and realising that goretex will not prevent a newly formed river from flowing through your bag ...
Happened to me back in the late 50's, before tents had floors and mosquito netting, back when scouts "ditched" around their tents - which we had not done. The other scout in the tent is still a best friend.
I've been careful since (or lucky).
Enjoy.
