Dark (scary) Forest (scary) but for that light, I'd surely die. LOL. Spencer had to do a survival in the woods "camp" experience in the Blue Ridge Mtns. Had to fashion their own shelter from branches, etc. If my mom had made me do that, I'd know she didn't love me. LOL. He said the kids stayed up most of the night around the campfire - so they didn't have to sleep so long in their man made shelter.
