like soooo many of u mentioned above...i don' t like the woods at NIGHT either... i think its because i know where some animals are and where most aren' t....i also walk out with my hand on my knife sheath....its got a buckle that i can flip and have my knife out very fast.... other than that i don' t mind walking in in the cold mornings...when i can see, smell, and hear whats going on....plus theres usually no wind in the morning!
