1:15 pm	What's the big Attraction to the countryside? To a lot of people, the allure of the great outdoors is great. campers have large comfy and warm houses, yet they leave it all to struggle in the cold outside in a cramped tent in the wilderness . Participants in extreme sports like mountain biking are usually healthy and in the prime of life, but they risk both life and health to ascend ever more challenging peaks. what is the big deal? Here are the top 10 reasons people crave the outdoors: 1. Beauty and grandness "O beautiful for halcyon skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties," go the evocative words to America the Beautiful. cities have their beauty, but an outdoor vista untouched by humans can take your breath away. Because of this, humans have a strong emotional pull toward the outdoors. Even people who claim to hate the countryside bring plants into their homes, decorate with the colors of nature, and have conservatories built so they can enjoy the outdoors. 2. Open spaces "O beautiful for spacious skies" resonate with many people. There is something exhilarating about seeing a stunning panorama spread before you. The feeling is often a paradoxical sense of smallness and freedom. In the small space of the home or office, people often feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility, as if too much rests on their shoulders. Being outdoors puts it all into perspective. The order of the universe will continue even if you don't get that report written for your boss and even if your kids gets an An in english. 3. Escape from distractions Most people experience a stress from the clutter of modern life. always e-mails to answer, phone calls to answer, bills to pay and lots of unfinished tasks to complete. By setting it all aside to row down a lazy river in a canoe, hearing nothing but the twitter of birds and the smooth slapping of oars against water, the mind becomes peaceful. Although they may gripe at first, children benefit from getting away from the TV and Internet. The constant distractions from various electronics make it hard to focus. Parents notice their children calming down and actually being tired when they go to bed at night. 4. Adventure although explorers are no longer settling uncharted areas\places, people still have an inborn\huge desire to explore. Adventure is the primary reason hunters traipse into the forest to kill and drag their dinner home rather than heading to the butchers of the convenience store. There's just no sport in picking up a pack of sausages for £2.99 a pound. 5. Fitness A gym workout gets you fit and is relatively safe, but it can quickly get boring. Climbing a cliff face focuses every ounce of attention to the task, and the continual danger keeps it from ever getting stale. For those who prefer safer challenges, even a hike offers a change of scenery at every turn. Unlike a gym workout, a walk has built-in motivation. An person can simply step off a treadmill when it gets boring , but a day hiker can't just quit in the middle of the countryside. 6. Challenging Correct use of gadgetry can make or break an outdoor experience. In some sports, it can mean the difference between life and death. Gadget-geeks pore over the specifications of everything from sleeping bags to carabiners, and they enjoy every minute of it. Each journey becomes a technical feat. Mountaineers work out the number of pitons needed to climb a pitch, ice fishers decide which auger to purchase, and bow-and-arrow hunters choose which kind of arrow to use. 7. Mental challenge Most outdoor activities need more than muscle strength. They challenge the mind. Any excursion into the unknown requires careful planning. Hiking is one example of this mental exercise. Walkers mull over each tool and piece of clothing to decide whether it is worthy of going into the rucksack. Each item is carefully weighed and totaled. Hikers find that the mental challenge of paring down to bare essentials is very liberating. 8. Living in the moment Most of work, home and school life is centered on the future. Office workers strive for a promotion, parents save for college, and students study for upcoming exams. The details of the present are often barely noticed. When people go backpacking, cycling, climbing or canoeing, they are forced to pause all ruminating about the future. All that is important is thinking about the next move. When people live for the moment, immediate surroundings come into sharp focus. Even the food begins to taste better. Campers say there is no better smell than bacon and eggs sizzling in a pan over an open fire. People who experience near death experiences in the wilderness often say that this intense, moment-by-moment feeling changes their life. They come back with a new perspective for every good thing they have. 9. Community Having a partner to share a tent and an outdoor adventure brings you far closer than any backyard barbecue. Encountering scary conditions, those in which your life is in your pals hands, brings a great level of trust that few other situations match. One sport that involves extreme trust is abseiling, in which one partner is on belay and the other fixes the rope. 10. Spiritual insights Sometimes reaching to the end of your physical ability brings intense spiritual insights. Many people who face near death experiences in the countryside tell of a strong feeling of love propelling them forward, a sense that their loved ones are present in spirit. In 1992, james Davidson and his climbing partner, Price, fell into a crevasse while climbing Mount Rainier. Mike died in the accident, and Jim, though grief-stricken over the loss of his friend, felt the presence of his father encouraging him through the dangerous vertical ascent to safety. Aside from near death situations, many people ponder the order of the universe during their expeditions into the country side, whether they believe in a god or not. With all the benefits of country life, what is the attraction to the great outdoors (Comment on this)
