It's an amazing cope under the right circumstances. One time I was in the woods and I set my pack down and laid on a rock for roughly and hour and a half. I didn't fall asleep or anything. My thoughts were in the moment the entire time. I was just existing. It was amazing.
"Boredom is almost nonexistent once you’ve become adapted to life in the woods. If you don’t have any work that needs to be done, you can sit for hours at a time just doing nothing, just listening to the birds or the wind or the silence, watching the shadows move as the sun travels, or simply looking at familiar objects. And you don’t get bored. You’re just at peace."
