Watching this movie tonight (free with commercials on FandangoAtHome.com) called The Human Hibernation. It’s an exploration about what it might be like if human’s hibernated every winter out in the woods like certain animals do.
Spring comes around and people come crawling out of holes and burrows in the woods. They live spring to fall just like normal, but then late fall comes and they all return to hibernation. It’s slow, thoughtful, fascinating, poetic. The imagery and camera work is incredible. Almost every shot could be a photograph. The natural world is highlighted strongly.
It’s probably not for everybody, because there’s no real A - B story. But I find it captivating. Just gotta be willing to put your tablet or phone aside for an hour and a half to really appreciate it.
Plan your day around water, not miles. Fill up at every good source, filter it or treat it if you want the extra insurance, and never pass up clear moving water because you think there'll be more ahead.

Out here, a little light goes a long way. You don't need to push back the whole night, just enough of it to see your next step.

Damp insulation won't keep you warm. Dry your layers whenever the sun gives you the chance, because the woods won't remind you before nightfall.
