🔦 Five lights. Four I can explain. One I cannot.
Forty years with the National Park Service taught me that a light in the dark woods is a fish hook, and you are the fish. Every part of a man wants to believe that light means people, and people mean help. That hope is exactly what gets used against you.
In this one I walk you through the five lights I never once stepped toward after dark, and the rule that goes with each one. 🌲
🪵 The pale glow on the forest floor that warms nobody and leads nowhere
🕯️ The flame over wet ground that every people on earth has a name for
💡 A real light, a real lamp, burning where there should be nobody
🧭 The one light you will want to follow the night you are already lost
🌑 And the fifth one, written down in these mountains for better than a hundred years, that science has been out to study more than once and has not closed the book on
⚠️ If you hike, hunt, camp or fish, the rules in here were paid for by somebody. Carry them with you.
👇 Tell me in the comments if you have ever seen a light out there you could not account for. I read them all.
