When I met my wife she used to worry about my safety. We lived in an area
that was perfect for having a nightcap and then going out walking late at
night (I prefer the dead of winter, especially after or during a snow). It
is something that I miss where I live now. When you see the sun start to
rise you have been out too long and your spouse will be worried.

I also recommend learning to walk through the woods at night -
especially when there is NO moon (or limited moonlight). It's
astonishing how much one can see, feel & hear in *the dark,* since it's
seldom truly full dark. It may take as much as 30 minutes for your eyes
to become fully dark-adapted (sometimes accellerated by wearing red
glasses if one must be active prior to going out). Then, once you're
comfortable with a trail or piece of land in the dark, try going
blindfolded. One's senses become greatly heightened & it's a rush like
no druggie will ever find.

I like to tie on a pair of calf length moccasins to walk in fresh snow.
Normally you'd think of slogging through snow but in lightweight mocassins
it's like being in bare feet. An interesting experience when you can't go
paddling.
