Me and my fiance got into it as she needed some sort of relief from wedding planning hell. Just going out/out of town doesn't suffice, as she will inevitably find a way to start thinking about the wedding and thusly stress herself out. I enjoy milsim activities, but her not so much. She's got a degree in history, and this has proven to spark her interest. PLUS when were looking for a cache she's not thinking or stressing I should say about the wedding. She's more gung ho about it than I am, for now .
I have found that although were pretty "outdoorsy" people, this has been the first activity to truly take our minds off the stresses of life for an hour or two.
