I am not so sure I would react appropriately and therefore would end up dead. But if I were doing this I would have made peace with this happening. It is all in my head, but my body has its own reactions and fears.

that is my reasoning too: the body wants to have this - possibly adventurous - experience, so for once i would like my mind to be trusting & be led by it.
@walklightly I am in the midst of several conversations(just starting) that will be quite interesting. I have read several books about people who have joined with the Aborigines and find this would be a great experience, but I am to set at this time to allow it to happen. Perhaps later.

yes. that's the thing: should worry keep me from having a life? most people who ever travelled the australian outback never had that sort of worries confirmed.
More Ausie words ? I looked swag up and found several definitions ; an acronym ( stuff we all get ) , a piece of cloth and something cool ( not temp ). I take it your meaning apiece of fabric or clothing and bush meaning naked ?

? going bush, also known as walkabout, is journeying the outback in oz. with my luxurious piece of cloth:
@walklightly Is that a real swag man ?
@walklightly Are you a swag woman or a swagshela ?
@Besalbub, none of the above 
& much more.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
