A wood is not a wall of green. To someone who knows its trees, it is a store with the shelves labelled: tinder here, straight poles there, cordage fibre on that bank, glue on those wounded pines, and, in the dark corner by the churchyard wall, poison. Knowing a dozen trees well is worth more than a rucksack of gadgets, because the trees are already there.
