We all get afraid in the wilderness. It may be because of imagined fears of monsters or creatures that we create in our minds but in reality, do not exist. Or it may be because of real dangers. We all get afraid in life because of imagined dangers and real dangers. Fear is a part of life and instead of trying to avoid situations, we can focus and adapt how we encounter them.
