Unless you are entirely and permanently bed ridden (In which case, I could take you out in a canoe carried on my head!), the wilderness is open to every single person in the world. For the last 15 years I have been visiting the wilderness, and have been running photography adventures around the world for the last 5 years. Wilderness is open for anyone willing to put forth the effort, both very young and old. But the majority of the worlds population congregate around big cities, why is that. I understand we think we need all the luxuries, but after a few days without them you feel better about yourself and discover all these so called necessities redundant. It has taken me almost 50 years to discover this and i have made a decision to spend as much time as possible in the wilderness and know it will only extend my life and wellbeing.
