The thing with the woods is actually because of the woods, surprisingly enough. BT often counts on signals bouncing off solid objects of which there aren't really enough in the woods (at least for signal bouncing purposes). You'll encounter the same thing crossing a wide street in the city where your signal might cut out in the middle of the street.
