Nature Guide

When your slamming down a back trail
on a crispy-crackling morning,
you have to take in all your surroundings,
you have to become one with the nature.

So let's start by
taking a deep breath,
good,
give me a "sharp inhale,"
good, that's good,
now your going to start
smelling something powerful;
you smell that?
That's the smell of raw nature.

So come on,
nothing to it now
but to do it proud
and loud...in a crowd...
nature crowd.

You feel the dirt?
That's real dirt.
You hear those birds?
Those are real birds!

Now let's take a swim.
What I want you to do,
is kiss the bottom
of this murky filthy scummy lake and come back
up all leech-ridden and glistening.
Cause you know what you'll be glistening in right?
Nature that's what! Good, that's good.

Now let's take a hike!
I want you to take these
wolf cubs I just found,
and climb that
mountain unscathed.
Then once you get to the top
I want you to bathe in the mountain
waters, because you're smelling pretty bad already.
Good, yeah that's good.

Now let's eat a north american beaver!
Yeah, that's right,
let's do it!

Come on, let's go!
Let's climb those trees with a spear in our hands,
because unless I'm mistaken, I don't think
it's quite north-american beaver
season yet, but it could be.

It definitely could be.
