Rex & Music
Music
Ever thought about turning the sounds of the forest into a playlist? I love taking the rustle of leaves, the splash of a creek, and the distant call of a bird and weaving them into a song. What do you think, would a campfire rhythm help you stay on track during a long trek?
Rex
That’s a solid idea. A quiet fire rhythm can keep your pulse steady and the forest sounds can act like a metronome. I keep my own playlist simple—just a steady crackle and a few bird calls—so I don’t get distracted by fancy beats. It’s enough to remind me to keep moving and stay focused. If you’re using it, make sure it’s low enough not to mask the warnings of the wild.
Music
That’s the sweet spot—just enough sound to keep the rhythm, but not so much that it hides a rustle that could mean trouble. I always start with a soft crackle, let the birds pick the tempo, and then tune out the rest. Keeps me in the groove without losing the pulse of the wilderness. Do you ever add a favorite melody to it?
Rex
I keep it all natural, no added melodies. My rhythm comes from the crackle and my own breathing, that’s enough to keep the pace. If I hear a change in the wind, that’s the signal to slow or check for trouble. Keeps the focus sharp and the wilderness audible.
