It's philosophical for a lot of us... it's just rarely scientific.

  What branch of philosophy? My guess is that in actuality it's just emotional/chemical for you.

    Whatever branch teaches me not to be a joyless pedant, I guess. You should give it a try. Edit: to be less flip, I find it an excellent place to think about ethics, what things are worth doing, the future, etc. I feel more prone to be "philosophical" when I'm in a wild place. I do not put on a backpack and think, "Ah, today I'm really going to sink my teeth into some epistemology".

      Of course, and you've made exactly my point. Everyone wants to make the process of being outside away from people and engineered objects out to be something more serious than it is. It's not. Just say you enjoy how you feel in that state and it makes you feel possibly more creative and open (though I assume most people haven't measured whether they actually are more creative or thoughtful over other places while alone and occupied eg. Shower, running, yoga etc..).
