Ooooooooooo! OUTSIDE!

That is My absolute FAVORITE place to play. I can confidently say I have played outdoors or out in public hundreds of times and I absolutely love it.

Yes, it is more challenging to be discrete. But full of possibilities. Especially if you understand that things do not always work as expected and you are flexible/trust me to make some judgment calls.

Places and ways I've played outside range from backpacking/camping/hiking in the Cohutta Wilderness to state parks to the local playground. Cemetaries, abandoned buildings, junk yards. Outdoor Burns, public fairs and festivals....

I've also played on those balconies ya'll like, on the decks of boats, on private beaches, and in the back yard. The woods, the pasture, the lake, the shed, the barn, the tress, the creek... where do you want to play?

Discrete "public" play is an artform to itself. Outdoors you can be secluded, and you can be private- Some locations are "safer" than others- But even the most remote location does pose some risk of being caught. There's nothing like a locked door. Roll the dice enough time and you WILL get "caught" sooner or later. Luckily it has never been an issue.

I also have quite a bit of experience with rental properties for play- in another life I coordinated group Lifestyle weekends. There are things to look for when renting, but you never know for sure until you get there.

I'm inspired to do a podcast telling stories of My outdoor adventures, but you might like it too much. If anyone wants their own outdoor story, feel free to send an application!
