I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.
I think hunting and fishing are mostly an excuse for meditation or hanging out with friends. I have some family members in hunting/fishing geographies and they never seem to care whether they actually catch anything.
Sitting still /= experiencing nature. There’s nothing wrong with meditation but it’s an unrelated exercise.
I’ve meditated in my room and I’ve meditated on a deer stand. They are not the same.
