The 20-5-3 Rule for How Much Time To spend in Nature

As outdoor enthusiasts, we’re in the minority when it comes to where we spend most of our time.  Arguably the majority of people spend their time indoors, which has consequences on one’s physical, mental, and emotional health.

5 is the number of hours you should spend in “semi-wild nature” a month.
3 is the number of days per year you should spend completely off the grid in nature.
