Going for a walk without Stuff

[Jessica]

Occasionally, not often, I go for a walk without my bag.
Nothing in my pockets.
No phone/camera, no notebook, no book to read, no weed, not even a drink..
All things I usually have with me.
And I find it feels quite different, in a good way. I like to most times have all my usual stuff.. but I think there's a special quality to a walk where you don't have any of it that is worthwhile. Freeing. Like an animal.
Does anyone else know what I mean?

Good to not be staring at a screen when on a nice walk .
Needed to take a drink today tho .

I always try to leave my phone at home when I go on a walk (i don't really ever take anything else on a walk with me except maybe water. and money if i'm walking to the store of course)
and things always run through my mind
what if my son has a bad injury and i cant call 911
what if I get kidnapped and the police can't use my phone to trace my location lol

but I do it anyways. because I like to live dangerously

If you can do it with footwear or maybe any clothing at all its even better!

You usually pack weed everywhere??? That just sounds funny, no offense.

I like doing these types of walks at night. When everything quiets down, the weather is still warm, and there is a nice breeze. Along with a view of the moon. 😊

oh, yes

I guess in Kentucky it would not be that wise :P

Yes, esp regarding the phone. On evenings i go to my friend in the village I rarely carry my phone. Same with on music fest terrain (almost everyone carries one to take pics and make vids), but also for example when i go do groceries.

I like doing that when I’m located far from civilization. And no strangers are around to bother me.

It’s liberating to be free from electronic devices for a while.

But if I’m walking my dog in my neighborhood, I’ll always bring my phone, and sometimes a stun-gun because of my past experiences with irresponsible dog owners.

[Din Djarin]

Stun gun? Pussy! I thought you lived in America!?

Yeah, it annoys me seeing people wave their phone screens at music festivals. I miss the days when people waved cigarette lighters.

[Din Djarin]

Only reason i would keep a phone on me there is for if I would lose track of my friends. But since I rather don't have one on me when partying at all AND everybody else does carry one anyway, i just have to make sure to keep track of 1 person (so I/we ehr, the other person :P , can find the other ones back lol)
